I'm trying to install using the sarge beta 2 installer on a Thinkpad 240, 6GB HD that is partitioned with 4GB to a FAT 32 partition and 2 GB for Ext 3. No CD accessible, so I'm using the floppies and network.
My PCMCIA NIC is recognized, I am able to download and install the base system, but am getting stuck on the LILO bootloader installation. The install program correctly recommends my main hard drive, but when I select it and "continue", it jumps to a screen quickly, then jumps back to the original screen for selecting the target device for the bootloader. I tried changing the very long device name (/dev/../../....) to /dev/hda1, dev/hda2, etc., and also /root, but the result is the same. If I select GRUB, the process begins, but stalls at the 80% mark, and I end up with a corrupted MBR. I have tried earlier on this laptop to install with BF24, but it won't read the second (root) floppy (even if I use "floppy=thinkpad"). Not my main machine, so no emergency, but perhaps someone has come across something like this.
