    Hi, I don't get a start up log while debian is booting
    > and I don't understand that. Does someone know what, if any, line in
    my menu ist (posted below) would cause the start up log to be blanked?
    In other words I don't see anything no boot messages.The first thing I
    see after selecting debian in the grub menu is the login/select user box.

      I read the SuSE Grub help and it said that some kernels don't need a
    initrd. So I just removed the initrd line from the slack entry and it
    booted!! Maybe that will help someone else. i am now booting
    floppy-less! Alright! Thanks again & again!
