Re: Problem on install: HP C200 hangup

["B. Douglas Hilton" <bdhilton@charter.net>]

Hi. I just verified that the Debian 3.0 CD-Rom also fails
on my C200 with a Visualize-EG graphics board. The kernel
is booting, sti console and framebuffer are working, and
it is crashing during init, looks like BusyBox is causing
the problem.

This is with "debian-30r0-hppa-binary-2.iso" created with jigdo.

Not a big deal for me, I already have Debian installed via the 0.9.3
iso from parisc-linux, but I thought I'd verify this report.
