Serkan and everyone, I think I have a similar problem. I'm currently running 8.1 and when I try to upgrade to 8.2 from CD (booting from floppy), it crashes after I tell the install I have no SCSI devices. Below are some of the messages on the screens at the point of the freeze. (Forgive me if I didn't get the "F" keys right.)
I have an Abit BH6 motherboard with an Intel PII 350 processor (overclocked). Other hardware includes an internal Iomega ZIP 250 and a Western Digital Caviar ~8 GB hard drive (sorry I don't have the exact model in front of me). I tried to follow the advice about disabling USB, but I couldn't find an appropriate setting in my BIOS, either. ALT-F1, last message on screen is: Entering step `Setup filesystems' ALT-F3, last few lines on screen read: * running: /usr/bin/insmod_ 2 >/dev/tty5 /tmp/imm.o * warning: insmod'ing module imm failed at /usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm line 625. * running: /usr/bin/insmod_ 2 >/dev/tty5 /tmp/ppa.o * warning: insmod'ing module ppa failed at /usr/bin/perl-install/modules.pm line 625. * step `setupSCSI' finished * starting step `doPartitionDisks' * warning: bad magic number at /usr/bin/perl-install/partition_table_empty.pm line 29. * found a dos partition table on /dev/hda at sector 0 * test_for_bad_drives*/dev/hda) ALT-F4, last few lines: <4>WARNING - no ppa compatible devices found. <4> As of 31/Aug/1998 Iomega started shipping parallel <4> port ZIP drives with a different interface which is <4> supported by the imm (ZIP Plus) driver.

ALT-F5: /tmp/imm.o: init_module: No such device /tmp/ppa.o: init_module: No such device And finally, I attached a photo of my frozen blue install screen (oh, the irony). Hope this turns on a light bulb for someone. - Kathy On Thu, 2002-05-16 at 18:24, Serkan Barut wrote: > Now i understand your point.But there is no switch for a usb controller in my >bios(or is there another way that i dont know how to disable it?)With two other >distros,JBLinux and Peanut i had no problem with the partition check process,it just >printed a few messages and then went on.Nevertheless i think i would use one of the >alt kernels for now.If you hear smth about the subject iwould be pleased to hear >about it. > > > Serkan >
