Hello, just a test report with the net-1440.img from http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/daily/ from 2002-11-23.
Hardware is a K6-500 with VIA Chipset and an 3Com 905b. The 3Com 509 isn't supported (module not available) so I had to change the NIC. - After booting and step 4 (configure network hardware) I switched to console 2 and used "modprobe unix" so "kmod: failed to exec..." doesn't display. I got this warning from modprobe: Waring: loading /lib/modules/2.4.19-386/kernel/net/unix/unix.o will taint the kernel: no license See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for tainted modules NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux Net4.0 Module unix loaded with warnings - then step 2 (configure the network via DHCP) which worked without and problem - then step 3 (finish setting up the Debian installer), choosed http as protocol, then I got the long list of possible countries with mirrors. Maybe it should be splitted up into pages. I choosed 18 (Germany) and 12 (www.uni-koeln.de) and no mirror. distribution is woody "Choose the retriever to use." with only one point. Maybe it could be skipped if there is just one possibility. Then I got wget 404's because there is no /dists/woody/main/debian-installer/.. and /dists/woody/local/dedbian-installer/... the next menu is the main menu and choosing 3 (finish setting up the Debian installer) brings me to the retriever menu. Its not possible to change the distribution. OK I had to reboot the disk and now choosed sarge.:) Back to the retriever menu I choosed net-retriever again (nothing else available) and wget tok the Packages.gz from the mirror but then tried to get /dists/sarge/local/debian-installer/binary-i386/Packages[|.gz] which isn't available (404). - "which packages to install" (the list is to long for one page) I left without any package choosed. wget took again some packages without errors. Then I got the main menu with 12 points and I choosed Partition a hard drive and got this error: Prompt: 1 - 12> 1 find: ./proc/1/fd: Permission denied find: ./proc/2/fd: Permission denied find: ./proc/3/fd: Permission denied find: ./proc/4/fd: Permission denied find: ./proc/5/fd: Permission denied find: ./proc/6/fd: Permission denied postinst exited with status 256 I checked dmesg and found out my IDE chipset isn't detected/listed.:( Any idea whats the problem? I installed the scsi package for 2.4.19 and loaded ide-scsi and the VP_IDE is loaded. Thank you. -- Noèl Köthe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
