Re: [Cialug] Debian Boot CD lockup

[Chris.Kulish@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Bingo!  Thats what I was looking for!

Now, how does one troubleshoot a lockup problem of this sort.  No error
messages or anything.  I suppose I could just try all the boot medias until
one of them works, but thats sort of inelegant.  I have any more
information on the problem other than what  included in the initial email.

I suppose I could just start with the bf2.4 and see what happens.  It seems
to be my best bet because it includes support for newer hardware.
