Just did an install on a HP 486 vectra and a 486 Dell. One with the "safe" floppies the other with the normal ones. I had the same problem with the modules (3c509 and Lance), from the menu didn't work, but it was fine when I did the insmod by hand. > > Later I rebooted the machine and when booting it said something about > not being able to create a "ksym..." file on /var/log, witch is a message > I know from other instalations but seems harmless. ditto here. Also I notice that kerneld is install and started but it gives a message that for 2.2.x kernels it should _not_ be run.
