Brentrup To: Ian Jackson , debian-bugs@pixar.com Subject: Bug#1230: lilo-1.3.11 bootdisk 25th July fails In-Reply-To: References: <14336777@toto.iv> I experienced similar problems when I installed debian from the 0.93R6 prerelease disk set early in August. After autoprobing the Buslogic controller the machine silently hanged. I succeeded only after making my own boot disk with a tailored kernel. My hardware configuration is similar to yours, except that the single IDE disk is enabled. This occured with 2 different revisions of the 1542B board. Looks like the Buslogic autoprobing is disturbing the 1542B setup. --Siggy ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Bernd S.
