Re: Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Installation
I looked and looked and found no isofs module to install in the install routine. I even did a find on the cd and found nothing. Very confusing. The way I eventually solved this problem was by copying the isofs.o module from a RedHat installation I had on another drive. I added the path to modules.dep and then 'modprobe isofs'. That worked and I was able to go through the deselect routine. But I'm just stumped about why the install media is not eqipped with the means of installing from itsself. Any halfway reasonable explanation would make me feel better like, your media must have been flawed. So is it the case that all other debain intallers see the option to install isofs/iso9660 and then can mount the cd in deselect without a hitch? Thanks for your time. marlon On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, George Bonser wrote: On Thu, 1 Apr 1999, Marlon Urias wrote: I have the exact same problem! Except that there is no iso9660 option in there!

Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 Installation
Hi, Can you help me?! I'm trying to install the 2.1 version of the Debian GNU/Linux and having some troubles... Everything runs well till 'dselect' is called for proceed whit packages installtaion. From this point on, only frustrations! ... iso9660 not supported by kernel is there. Why? All the install process was made from my cdrom (ATAPI IDE says Debian...), so what's the problem? Here is what I am doing: . booting from cdrom (my BIOS boot sequence is A,CDROM,C) . choosing 'color'. . choosing U.S. Keyboard (QWERTY) . initializing and activating a swap partition (/dev/hdb3) . Initializing a Linux partition (/dev/hdb2 - root in this device) . Installing operating system kernel and modules from CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdc - ATAPI IDE) . configuring device driver modules . fs modules : hpfs, ncp, smbs, umsdos, vfat . misc modules : lp, serial . net modules : dummy, ppp, slip . scsi modules : ppa . configuring the network . hostname : edudeb . then no . installing the base system . configuring the baase system . Brazil . East . making Linux bootable directly from HD (/dev/hdb2 as default) . rebooting the system (using HD - no rescue and no floppy) . choosing a new password for root . creating a normal user account (edu) and assigning it's password . enabling shadow passwords . saying no to PPP connection to install the system . choosing custom for packages that i want installed . choosing [A]ccess in dselect . multicd . block device name: /dev/hdc Then... mount: fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel unable to mount /dev/hdc on /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt, type iso9660 Why this? Why during the installation process i could use the cdrom and now i can't? Why Debain does not recognizes it anymore? Besides, Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 kernel version was supposed to be 2.0.36 wasn't? Why when I start the command uname -a I get: Linux edudeb 2.0.35 #1 Thu Jul 23 14:01:04 edt 1998 i586 unknown Is this correct? I hope you can help me. Thank you, Eduardo Manso PS: English is not my natural language, so...

The kernel on the cdrom is a special one, compiled to recognize _everything_. The one you install when you Install Operating System Kernel and Modules isn't quite the same. You just need to install the modules ... PS: English is not my natural language, so...
