- Hello linux gurus,
-
- I have downloaded linux, or at least enough to get started. It boots
- up just great on a ISA-bus pc, but if I try it on a NCR 486/25
- MicroChannel box, it will not complete the boot sequence. It loads
- the bootimage from floppy, and then never gets much past where it displays
- the int levels of com ports.
-
- My question:
-
- Is the problem the fact that I'm trying to run on a MCA box?
-
- thanks,
-
- dan
