I'm trying to boot devil linux on a particular machine with no luck. I am able to boot it on another machine, so the CD must be okay. I am able to boot lnx-bbc from CD on the machine in question, so the CD drive is okay. Any ideas what might be causing the problem? ( There's no hard disk on this machine, & the floppy drive is broken. It has 64 MB of RAM. Thanks in advance for any clue. TB |

( From what you don't tell I conclude that the machine you've got the troubles with is much older compared to the machine you've got the devil linux cd booting, correct? If yes then this is a problem of your bios, which can only boot a cdrom that has a floppy bootdisk images embedded. Devil Linux uses the no-emulation mode because we need more space than one can fit on a simple floppy disk. You might want to create a freedos boot disc and use loadlin to boot the kernel of the cd. -- MfG / Regards Friedrich Lobenstock ____________________________________________________________________ Friedrich Lobenstock Linux Services Lobenstock URL: http://www.lsl.at/ Email: fl...@fl... ____________________________________________________________________ |
