Boot problems.
Hi i'm having problems Installing Debian. It freezes during the boot
sequence. I've tried booting from the CD and from the rescue floppy but it
always fails.
Boot sequence
detects:
hda - main harddisk
hdb - linux harddisk
hdc - Installation CDROM
hdd - DVD-ROM
ide0 - then linux sets the IRQ and some other HEX.
ide1 - same as above
fd0- it finds the floppy drive
md drive 0.36.3 MAX_MD_dev=4, MAX_REAL=8
<at this point if i'm booting from the rescue disk, the installation>
<fails, and a cursor blinks on the bottom of the screen>
sym53c416.c : version 1.0.0
DC390: 0 adapters found
<if i'm booting from CD-ROM it fails here>
i'm lost any ideas?
my computer is a polywell:
Poly 800K7 ATX Motherboard
Athlon 700MHz 128K L1/512K L2 Cache
128MB SDRAM
Seagate 28GB Ultra DMA/66 IDE 7200RPM Hard Drive
HP 8x4x32 CD-RW 9000i
Toshiba DVD-ROM
Soundblaster Live 256 voice
Nvidia GE-Force 256 4xAGP graphics card
Sigma Hollywood hardware MPEG2 card
LinkSys 10/100 etherfast card
any help would be appreceated.
