I'm trying to install Debian Linux 1.3.1 and everything works fine until I try to make a boot disk from the install menu. The installation program prompts me to insert a blank floppy in the drive and I do so and press enter. The installation program then tries to format the disk and almost immediately exits with the following messages:
Verifying track 0, head 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 17 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 17 Verifying track 0, head 1 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 32 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 32 Verifying track 0, head 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 17 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 17 Verifying track 0, head 1 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 32 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00, sector 32 It doesn't matter which disk I use, it gives the exact same messages. I have tried with different floppy disks, reformatted them in DOS and Minix first (no errors when formatting there) but it doesn't help. I have configured my system according to the instructions in install.txt (disabled Shadow Ram etc.) I haven't tried with a new blank non DOS/Minix -formatted disk yet, would it make any difference? Thanks for any help since I really want to get Linux working. -- Jon Forsberg -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
