Hi all,

Just to relate an experience:

For my part, I just take the CD-0.9.3 and try to boot it with a B2000 and it
failled also for me with similar messages if I use the STI buildin console.
Well,... I disconnect ps/2 kbd and mouse and use a serial console (emulating
vt100) and it boot correctly (with internal ide cdrom drive) at leat till the 2
first Debian/GNU install dialog box. (I did not install actually because I have
not disk to use so it is possible that it would failled later because of ide
drive?).

Is it help?

Joel

Yes - and that's as far as it will go.
palo uses IODC ("BIOS") to load the vmlinux.
That vmlinux does not know how to talk to the IDE CD-ROM interface
and can't load anything else. One should be able to do a network
install but start out by booting the ISO image.

Don't feel bad. In this case I wasn't either...at least not
to the point of a working IDE on suckyio. And I thought I could. :^(
