Hi again, I've finally managed to boot my Indigo2 into the Debian installer, using the kernel found on http://honk.physik.uni-konstanz.de/linux-mips/install/r4k-ip22/tftpboot.img The installation goes well, until I have to download the packages from the net. All packages are downloaded via http://http.us.debian.org/debian as it is the default choice. But sometimes I get "could not download package" or "corrupted archive" and I go back to the Debian menu highlighting "Install Base System". If I repeat this operation a few times, all packages are downloaded, validated and extracted at last. But debootstrap _always_ fails during the configuration. I've spent 6 hours trying to get it through, and I couldn't succeed. I got errors 139, 138, 134 and 1. I've tried reloading the installation process from the beginning, rebooting the computer a couple of times, nothing worked, so I'm kind of helpless right now. So my question was, is anyone aware of such issues, and if so, is there a way to complete the installation ? I'd also like to know if I could use sarge's or sid's debootstrap package instead, since it's apparently the one that's causing all the mess. If this is possible, could someone please explain me how ? The weirdest thing is I've got a friend who's got the _exact_ same hardware, and had no problem installing Debian Woody. Am I cursed or something ? Where could this problem come from, besides debootstrap ? Again, thanks in advance.
