Install floppy just does not boot. The main problem I need to install 2.1.5 on that machine IMMEDIATELY, so I thought that could be an excuse I post my problem here. ``Does not boot'' means that when kernel is loaded it writes ``/stand/sysinstall running as init'' and game over. When I turn off EIDE controller (on motherboard) it gets to blue screen with block cursor in the left down corner and game over as well. It seems it just stumbles after a number of interrupts or something like that. Cause I've got it once written ``.... running as init'' several linefeeds and over as well. Any ideas are greatly welcome immediately. I know I am stupid but I've caught a cold and anyway really need it to be installed today. Still trying, but if someone sees something obvous about it, drop me a message. alexis -- Yesterday don't matter when it's gone
