I'm currently experimenting with the Sarge floppydisk installation. We are in the process of replacing our Redhat servers with Debian, because of good experiences in the past.

The new installer is a great improvement, but I'm experiencing some problems. Some of them are already reported as bugs, but there is one problem I can't quite place.

Everything goes fine, until the installer asks to install LILO as the bootloader. It prompts with
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc. This looks ok, so I press enter. I get a black screen and after a few seconds the screen shows:


insmod: init_module: vesafb: No such device or address
modprobe: failed to load module: vesafb
modprobe: failed to load module: vga16fb
modprobe: failed to load module: usb-uhci
modprobe: failed to load module: usbkbd
modprobe: failed to load module: keybdev
modprobe: failed to load module: usbserial

After this I return to the same screen in the LILO configuration. I get the same device-line and the only option is to continue. But after entering, I receive the same error. The only was to exit the loop is to reboot the machine, because there is no <back> option.

It seems like LILO isn't succesfully installed, because rebooting the machine prompts with the usual boot error (no bootdisk etc.).

Any ideas on what this could be?

Eric
