Baking Until I Drop

It’s been 200 years since the Chinese first arrived in Trinidad & Tobago.
So, today we have a holiday.
I think the day may actually be 10th October (Double 10).

Guardian link that won’t stay up.
An Express link…

I’m so frustrated I could sit down and cry.
And I’m just a step away from it yet for wanting to cry over this, after all that’s been happening, is so ridiculous.

Remember my processor woes? The bent pins?
Well day before yesterday I finally got my new processor, a AMD Sempron64 2800+.
I installed it last night and booted up into Debian and proceeded to updating/apt-getting.

I cancelled the apt-get upgrade as it was hogging bandwidth and Chennette had this desire to use the net. I ssh’d in later and updated a few 100kb. 11s to go and it froze. I rebooted and it said it failed crc check.

I booted into Knoppix (it’s installed on the harddrive) and eventually got kernel panic…twice.

And now I can’t boot the machine!
So, how am I even supposed to run memtest or fdisk?
Why can’t I boot the machine? Is something loose? Was it not the processor all along?
