Re: ThinkPad T22 <and other> boot fails at Loading Stage 2 |

Hello !
I had yesterday the same problem on an Austrian notebook
named IPC, a PIII,600E with 128MB RAM.
Booting GRUB from floppy (and I think loading it from disk is the
same) hangs after
GRUB stage2 .....
In my case, the systems hangs here, this notebook has no graphic
welcome screen.
I tried later with an older version (0.5.95, more than one year ago),
and this works !!
At the moment, I do not have the notebook to analyse this further...
With friendly regards
Christoph
