Hi all,
I'm going out to install Debian 2.1 on a Compaq server with some fairly
recent hardware, however, I understand attempts to boot the machine with
the CD-ROM have failed. Although I haven't looked at the machine
myself, by the sounds of things the 2.0 kernel that this uses by default
cannot handle the hardware and so crashes on boot. I don't have a copy
of Slink handy so I won't really have a chance to play with this until I
get out there so I was hoping for some advice in advance. Is there a
way you can boot the Slink install with a 2.2 kernel? Does the CDROM
come with a 2.2 kernel on it that can be used? Am I going about this
the wrong way?
Regards,
Christian.
