Comment:

First off, I had posted this a couple minuets ago, but I accidently clicked on the Mac forum... (stupid me...)

I am having trouble booting Wolf Linux, it comes up to the screen where I press enter to boot, then goes to:

Loading howl.gz..._

(the _ represents a blinkning cursor)

The floppy drive show activity, but it doesn't sound like the disk is being read.

I have tried two floppy drives to boot from, wrote the disk using two different drives, tried 5 different disks, started with 16MB RAM, upgraded to 48MB. But none of this has worked.

Any suggestions?

Thanx.

I think there could be the vga graphic card problem or try changin the cpu ram and it should solve the problem of reformat the hdd and install and see ok
