I manage to find this mailing list. Basically I having problems booting the boot disk of Linux on my LapTop in process of installation Linux. I have tried various varieties Red Hat 4.1, 4.0, Slackware 96, Drop In Linux. The last three of these Linuses came of the InfoMagic Developers Resource December 1996 CD ROM.
I am at my wits end. Is there some diagnostics that I can do:-
I have tried.
$ ramdisk hd=4188,16,63 debug no-hlt reserve=0xec600,0x0FFF // From the pci diagnostic below $ ramdisk hd=4188,16,63 debug no-hlt reserve=0xE0000,0xEFFFF // Windows 95 system says Memory 0xe0000- 0xeFFFF System Board $ ramdisk pci=noprobe debug // pci=noprobe - a wild guess on my part $ linux debug $ rescue debug
Looked the Linux Lap Top Home Page for answers.
The general advice I have read in LDP is to pull any out cards to try to find the conflicting hardware problem, but this is not possible on a LapTop.
I reached the end ... but I refuse to loose, there must be a way!!!!!
