does anybody have a clue why Alien's slackware 14.2 mini-install ISO wouldn't boot in a VPS farm (Linode in my case) ?
Code:
slackware_x86_64-14.2-mini-install.iso
i dd-d the ISO image into /dev/sdb from where i try to boot the VPS so i can install slack142 onto /dev/sda. just once i saw in the Glish terminal window some kernel panic message but i had no chance to make a note of it.
interestingly several versions of Alien's SlackCurrent mini-install ISOs :
Code:
slackware64-current-mini-install.iso
worked just fine, most recently yesterday, all booted the very same way in this VPS farm...
