Hello Laurenz,
Basically it is this way. I boot my computer up first in an OS called Magic.
It would be the same as booting up Windows on a PC. I run a program from my
desktop in the Magic OS which then runs the Linux installation ramdisk
initrd22.gz. With my older Kernel (version 2.2xxx) the ramdisk runs and I soon
get the screen which asks for what language I want the installation to be in.
If I use the newer kernels, the ramdisk loads, but I get no video. If I have
my external Hard Drive turned on, the ramdisk freezes right before the
language screen and mentions something about a corupt list (kernel panic).
Hope this helps...
Once I get Linux installed, I run the same program that I used in the
installation, but with a different information file that will then load Linux.
