Moin,

I just got an old (and partially damaged) thinkpad 560X. I removed the hard
disk and installed Debian woody to the disk (build into a desktop).
While it was no problem to boot the fresh installed system from the
installation system (the PC I instlled at) there occur a problem to boot from
the Thinkpad itself.

To boot the Debian 2.2.20 kernel works fine. But because I need this maschine
to drive a webcam I need at least 2.4.16. And this kernel won't boot! After
giving all parameter to 'grub' and type the final 'boot' the 560 just reboot
without a hint why! I gave the 'floppy' parameter to the kernel, but this
does not make a different.

What can I try now?

Thanks
