During Debian 2.1 Slink installation, when I reached the "make boot floppies" stage, the installer (dbootstrap) failed to write the floppy presumably because it was writing to /dev/floppy. It times out after a while and there are some error messages but they get obscured by the dbootstrap text windows. A simple menu like the one that lets you select the location of your CD drive would solve this problem.

I think it's too soon for that, considering that still a lot of packages have to be installed, and a lot of new files will be added to the system (the locate database will become outdated quickly). This would not be a problem if it weren't because it slows down the boot process. I suggest that this locate database is not created in the first boot at all, is created in the background, or is created after exiting dselect, when most of the packages have been already installed.

Bug#64428: dbootstrap should check if right set of driver images is being used
Jozef Hitzinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: More confusion possible: If you accidentaly insert wrong set of floppies (base instead of drivers in my case) it will happily read all the disks (11 instead of 3), then of course fail with (not very helpful) "wrong drivers.tgz" message. Yup. If it's not too much work, it'd be nice if it could tell me I'm doing wrong right away. It is too much work to fix for Potato, sadly. I wanted to add this to 64428, while making it maintonly as it's not so important really. If the BTS will not understand it, merge the reports, please. Sorry if I caused any problems. No worries. It seemed to work. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onShore.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Boot Problem
Hi Guys, We are having a problem getting Linux to boot on an Industrial Computer Source SB586P(V) Rev(C) computer board. The SB586 has a 100 Mhz Pentium and uses American Megatrent BIOS (1994, the latest version for this board). The system has 30 meg of main memory and is using the on-board Adaptec aic78xx v1.2 SCSI Controller with a Seagate Barracuda ST 32550N drive. We are using "Installing Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 for Intel x86" version 2.2.15 dated 24 May, 2000 as a guide. The Linux version is Potatoe and the file date is 6/7/2000 4:18pm. When the system boots, the Linux opening screen appears - when we begin the installation, as soon as the load process begins, we see "Lo" (a quick flash, so I'm not sure) and the system immediately re-boots. We have tried various combinations of BIOS settings and Linux load options parameters with no change in symptoms. I'd appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Brit Rothrock [EMAIL PROTECTED] 617-476-8905 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello, found you on some archives... regarding boot problems
are you aware that the current install disks, if one uses the hard drive
method, using the larger .tgz files, the drivers.tgz contains 2.2.15
kernel modules, while the vanilla and idepci kernels report being
really? That's strange.
(all files are relative to debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.15-2000-06-07)
linux - is vanilla 2.2.15 (with some patches)
drivers.tgz - modules for the above kernel. I've just checked, and they appear
to be the correct ones
idepci/linux - is the -idepci flavour
idepci/drivers.tgz - the same
2.2.15-idepci. There's a mismatch and nothing can get configured for a
proper install.
Are you sure, that you have the correct files?
idepci/linux - 610691 Jun 7 18:05 linux
idepci/drivers.tgz - 875868 Jun 7 18:05 drivers.tgz
3d36fca65ffa3eec06d356cd75946600 linux
48295d5826e00e857b4906ce55dfcf47 drivers.tgz
I have a new machine I need to install today, and am looking for a
drivers.tgz file that has the 2.2.15-idepci kernel modules.
Any suggestions?.
try to get the correct files . It should work.

ok, i downlaoded all the idepci stuff again, and now tried the 2.88 disks.
I moded the install.bat [from the idepci dir in root] file to reflect the

bootable themself and contain root.bin and the files from rescue.bin.
panic, where it can't mount 01:00 , seems RAMDISK cant find valid ramdisk

of course, you need root.bin and NOT rescue.bin. So just get them from
images-1.44.
no good.

Bug#65606: No installation of LILO to logical partition?
Package: base Version: 2.2.15-06-07 When I installed Debian "potato" I was not allowed to install LILO to a logical partition. It says LILO can't be installed there, but in fact it can. I reconfigured LILO after install to lie in the logical partition ,and it worked. This may or may not work with all sotck Debian bootloaders, but I can boot the logical partition with BootMagic(non-free program) and I think I can use xosl (xosl.org) to boot it also. I think the installer should permit installation of LILO to a logical partition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
