Hi there! I just installed Debian Testing using the netinst-cd-images created on 04-Jun-2003. During the installation I passed two problems that interrupted the installation and required me to fix them. I didn't really fixed them but I found workarounds, I am posting this because I think it should be fixed some day and I don't have the time to seriously deal with it.
The first problem concerns the path to the kernel-modules in the installation system. According to modules.dep they should be found in /kernel instead of /lib/modules/2.4.20-1-386/kernel. Unfortunately /kernel doesn't exists. The unelegant way is to symlink /kernel to /lib/modules/2.4.20-1-386/kernel in order to get the network up. The second problem occurs when the kernel-package is installed. During the process of this installation mkinitrd stops the installation by complaining about being unable to determine the root filesystem. Taking a look to /target/etc/fstab shows nothing but a comment, adding something like "/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults 0 1" solves this. I am wondering why /etc/fstab isn't written earlier, maybe in the basepackages or after creating the filesystems. Maybe there is someone around who'd like to fix these issues ;-) Best regards Fabian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
