I tried to do this at boot :

First : dsl tohd=/dev/hda

On now booting with dsl fromhd=/dev/hda vga=788 lang=fr desktop=jwm

Booting like this is ok ( not the best way but it's ok ), and Hd install still doesn't work, always freeze just after Cpu detection.....

So it was freezing only after a traditional debian-style hd-install but not a frugal?

Check your additional boot parameters, such as noapic
Compare with the working cdrom and non-working debian hd install.
Locations will depend on boot loader and which cd type you were successfui with.

Or simply, use the DSLpanel, click on System Stats, look in boot tab
from the working cd or poorman's install.

Then be sure you use the same options, for power, apm apic and also dma etc. Some boot parameters do not apply to debian style hd install.

Try your debian style install. If it fails,. then boot from cdrom and mount your hard drive to fix/adjust boot parameters.

Ok, i've seen boot parameter and it's now booting well.

Thank you
