dexdexForum: HD Install Topic: dexdex started by: dexdex Posted by dexdex on April 17 2005,00:55
Hi, i have a subnotebook from acer (tablet pc c100) and try get dsl running. I used the boot.img and also the bootusb.img but when i try to boot the only "boot failed" appears. When i try the usb cdrom only the message "debian ..." and then the system reboot and this process is looping unitl i unplug the usb cdrom. I tried vectorlinux fedora linux as well and every time the same problem, only suse linux 9.1 or 9.2 are booting with my acer. so where is the problem and how do i get a hd install?

You're most likely running into hardware issues. Tablet PC has special hardware considerations which must be taken into account. Such as lack of support for.

Hm, i don't think that is a probmlem with special hardware for tablet pc- the acer c100 is a simple subnotebook. you have only the rotateable tablet display. I search the net and find out that it is not simple for linux to boot from usb-floppy drives. Do you know if it should be possible to boot from a usb-floppy with the bootusb-08.img from dsl mirrors? If so then of course it should be problem with my special hardware; If not for what ist the bootusb-08.img file? I would be glad if you could give me a short answer.
