The video card works in another machine. So I'm guessing it's the motherboard or the chip, both old (Asus a7v8x and Athlon 2700). I'll be back when it comes time to salvage the hard drive (which was new) but that has etch installed on it configured for the broken mobo and chip. Adventures.

I don't suppose you left a getty running on a serial port and can use a serial console? I don't suppose you have any boot floppy (or equiv) already set up to use a serial console?

boot from cd and start ssh remotely?
Hi all, I think I lost a graphics card during the night. It's my main machine and I don't have ssh running on it. Is there a way to boot from one of the cd distros headlessly and then ssh in from the outside? Either that or I guess I'll try to find another PCI card to test in it before I go purchase one.

Greetz, Sebastiaan -- NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98 16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a *real* 32-bit system.
OT: Bootdisk that hands over to boot from CD?
Hi all, my system _should_ be able to boot from CD, but right now it doesn't, so I wondered if someone knows about an image of a diskette, that just hands the bootprocess over to the CD, when booted into. (I'd just use it as a boot image for grub, that should work ;-) kind regards, Ingo

(Ich schreib' einfach mal deutsch) Für die CD sehe ich jetzt keine Lösung, für eine Rescue-Diskette könnte man aber in der Syslinux.cfg wohl jedes beliebige Kernel-Image zum Boot bestimmen. (->Siehe Syslinux-Dokumentation, habe grad nur sehr flüchtig reingeschaut /usr/doc/Syslinux/). Ciao, Stephan Hachinger Here the reply in English language: I suggest to you using a boot disk instead of a CD and editing the Syslinux.cfg (see also /usr/doc/Syslinux). It seems to be able to boot any kernel image. Kind Regards, Stephan Hachinger.

You should just be able to burn the raw Debian image onto the disc and boot it. I've burned about twenty Debian 2.0 CDs and, as far as I know, they've all been bootable from CD-ROM on systems that support CD-ROM booting. I use a Macintosh CD burning program (Adaptec Toast), so I'm not sure what you'd do on any other system, but on the Mac I just tell it to burn that file as an image (as opposed to a ISO-9660 disc (which will just burn the file onto the disc, pretty useless)) and away it goes. Also -- 2.0R3 has been released in image form -- you might want to go for that one as it is (presumably) more up to date. -- adr
boot from CD ?
Hi Is the 2.0_r1 CD image bootable ? I have to burn it here on work and I don't know how to make a bootable CD out of it. As far as I understand, I need to make an El-Torento(?) CD-Rom, i.e. one .raw file which contains a bootable HD partition and one .raw file that will be the "normal" CD content. How to make this boot .raw file ?

There may be something you need to do in your BIOS setup but read on before you get your hopes up. I have seen the same type of behavior on several machines. A proper bootable CD actually provides a standard floppy image for the BIOS to use for bootup. If the machine boots a rescue floppy with the same image then you would think the code on the image is properly written. I can take one of my CD products to various machines and get results that fall into 4 basic categories: 1) Nothing. The hardware/BIOS probably won't boot any CD. This could be a BIOS setup problem or a hardware problem (drive is not really compatible?). 2) LDLINUX line appears and system resets. (infinite loop) 3) LDLINUX line appears and system resets when I press enter. 4) Image boots just like a floppy and zero floppy installation is fine. On systems that exhibited behavior 2 and 3 above I have been able to install using msdos. A msdos floppy with the appropriate msdos cd drivers was booted. I changed to the e: drive, changed to the boot directory and typed boot. The kernel loaded and rescue/install menu came up. From there I was able to perform a complete install without additional floppies. I could be wrong, but I think that some of these machines are needing a BIOS upgrade. If installation from floppy or msdos didn't work either, I wouldn't be so suspicious. My experience has been that the same CD boots fine on 1 machine and not on another. Because of this, I am not buying any new motherboards without testing the CD boot capability. If there is a easy solution to this problem, I would love to hear about it. +--+ + Paul Wade Greenbush Technologies Corporation + + mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.greenbush.com/ + +--+ + http://www.greenbush.com/cds.html Now shipping version 1.3.X + +--+ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

? boot from CD?
What's the magic incantation? My machine finds the CD, gets to the " boot: " prompt. Then it reboots (after each of my many guesses). I have sucessfully installed by booting from floppy, but I'm still curious. BTW I have an Intel Zappa board, and my CD is /dev/hdc.
