Product: Installation
Component: Installation
Summary: Installing on Dell Inspiron 3500, kernel-2.4... does not
install - Cooker 9.1B3
Version: 1.776
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Selecting most if not all of the workstation related packages, excluding service
such as apache and sql, the installer did not install the kernel modules or
kernel itself.
On first boot the computer hung on the pcmcia module, which did not exist and
was not installed at all. After the second boot with the Xircom Realport Cardbus
10/100 + 56k World Modem removed from the slot, the computer booted with a safe
mode kernel, to a safe mode gui. I proceeded to force a kernel install from the
rpm. rpm -U --force kernel-2.4... I had to do it this way because it thought the
kernel was already installed, but /lib/modules was non-existant.
I believe this might possibly have to do with an interaction between the pcmcia
cardbus modules in the installer and the network configuration scripts. Just a
guess.
Anyways, I was able to boot and use the computer eventually, but it took a
little tinkering on my end that the installer really should have done right the
first time! Take a look at it! Thanks guys, I love you product!
