Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20011123 8:48 DrakX v1.600
Expert update and Recommended update from hd.img still impossible:
Same as 9, 12 and 21 November:
segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.
I couldn't get a bug report, so I made these notes:
Console 1...
Entering step `Choose packages to install'
segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.
Console 2...
# bug
missing module floppy
mounting /dev/fd0 on /fd0 as type vfat
running: /usr/bin/insmod_2> /dev/tty5 -f /temp/fat.o
running: /usr/bin/insmod_2> /dev/tty5 -f /temp/vfat.o
calling mount(/dev/fd0, /dev/fd0, vfat, -1058209792, check=relaxed).
mount failed: Invalid argument at /usr/bin/perl-install/fs.pm line 610
Console 3...
* unknown package [...]
* unknown package `libgimpprint4'
* getFile Mandrake/base/compssUsers:
* reading /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc
* done
* rebuilding rpm database
* segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.
Console 4...
<4> VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 02:00
Console 7...
Dialog:
segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.
Hit OK, then was in console #? with this...
error :(
switch to console f2 for a shell
Press <Enter> to reboot
Did that
error: rpmdb: damaged header instance, # 923 retrieved, skipping.
segmentation fault: seems like memory is missing as the install crashes.
Then, of course, because the SysRq key doesn't work here (just takes you
back to Console 7), I had to endure all that fsck'ing again on reboot.
Back in 8.1, I checked out /cooker/var/lib/rpm and deleted __db.001 and
__db.002. I'll try again later but I'm getting heartily sick of all this.
