That sounds like a broken hard drive to me. > http://www.kok.cc/pdf/syslog Nov 23 15:40:55 debootstrap: Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: journal_bmap: journal block not found at offset 2060 on hda3 Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: Aborting journal on device hda3. Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: journal commit I/O error Nov 23 15:40:56 debootstrap: dpkg: error processing base-files (--install): Nov 23 15:40:56 debootstrap: unable to fsync updated status of `base-files': Input/output error Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: ext3_abort called. Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: EXT3-fs error (device hda3): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal Nov 23 15:40:56 kernel: Remounting filesystem read-only Nov 23 15:40:56 debootstrap: dpkg: failed to open `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for writing status information: Read-only file system So the disk has problems, Linux mounts it read-only and you get the error message regarding /var/lib/dpkg/status. I fear it's a broken disk. :( Can you put in a different drive and try again? -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
