As booting from a 6.4 disk works, it seems like that something in the beginning of the boot process is different with 7.1. As I don't even get a "boot:" prompt, it is still in the 1st or 2nd phase of the boot process. It hasn't reached the 3rd phase yet. Apparantly there is some hardware dependency involved, but I don't see how... :-( | Also, what hardware i in this Dell?
