Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] booting probelms

[Dominic R. <dl...@ed...>]

Welcome to Devil-Linux, Rowan!

I have never seen this error message before, so my only direct 
suggestion would be that you re-burn the CD - perhaps it is faulty?

But I strongly recommend the Devil-Linux 1.4RC1 version from 
ftp://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/releases/ for a new installation rather 
than 1.2.x. It uses the 2.6 Linux kernel instead of 2.4 and it might 
well solve your specific problem. Or you could try the 1.4RC2 version 
from ftp://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/devel/testing/.

I have been using 1.4RC1 happily for several months. [I'm waiting for 
1.4RC2-i686-server before moving to that release : ) ]
