I'll leave it to do its own thing overnight and see where it is in the morning. -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ~ Registered Linux User 365161 OS Mandriva x86_64 2008.0 Kernel 2.6.22.9-1mdv HAM Callsign G8JVM : Locator IO82SP QRV all bands 80mtrs to 3 cms ,( non WARC ) http://www.software-radio.org.uk A computer is like a Native American Indian teepee, it has no gates, no windows and has an apache inside. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It may simply mean that he's using an old installer image (that will no longer work because there's a new kernel in the Debian archive). But if it's really 4.0r3, it should work fine. The output of 'uname -a', as Frans says, would be interesting. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This message _always_ means that you are using incompatible images, so this is user error and not a problem in the installer. Basically the kernel you are using to boot the installer with (the one you've flashed the box with) is different from the version the udebs that are available on the media/mirror you are downloading additional components from. To find out what kernel version you have flashed, to the main menu, start a debug shell using the option in the menu and type 'uname -a'. > I could go back to 4.0r2 if needed. That may or may not help. As explained above, the image you use to flash most be compatible with whatever you use for the rest of the installation process. Cheers, FJP P.S.

The installer is not seeing the USB memory, and on the package selection usb-storage-modules-2.6.18-6-ixp4xx-di: USB storage support is not shown. All its finding is the Flash and RAM in the barefoot slug. I can plug the USB 8 GB memory into this machine and all files are readable. When I initially loaded the beast last year , as far as I remember, there were no problems. It loaded and ran. -- Best Wishes Richard Bown ~ Registered Linux User 365161 OS Mandriva x86_64 2008.0 Kernel 2.6.22.9-1mdv HAM Callsign G8JVM : Locator IO82SP QRV all bands 80mtrs to 3 cms ,( non WARC ) http://www.software-radio.org.uk A computer is like a Native American Indian teepee, it has no gates, no windows and has an apache inside.
