Bug#123926: Same problem, but on udma100-something
FWIW, I've exactly the same problem. Everything the install program tries to mount fails while I can mount things manually (at Alt-F2). Was also very confused until I understood that I had to mount the FAT32 partition on /instmnt and not /mnt. I'm using the udma100-something flavour. Alas I can't make a boot floppy because the install program is trying to mount it and fails. So in general it seems the testing distribution (which I presume is woody because it looked for files in something/woody/something) can't mount FAT and FAT32 things. But manually (at console 2) it works fine. Right, MartinS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Installation report on i386 using udma100-ext3 boot-floppies
Hi, I've just tried to install on i386 (Pentium 166 MMX, 64MB RAM, 2GB harddisk). i18n seems to be working fine :-) The welcome screen is lacking accents on all words which might be using it. I didn't translated it myself so I'll give a try later. Picked a language, configured the keyboard, partitioned the harddisk using ext3 for 2 partitions and created a swap partition. All went fine. Went to install modules and to download them from network (nice that it told me I have no network configured and give me a chance to configure my network). The modules were downloaded (rescue.bin and drivers.tgz) and the installer goes back to the language selection screen. The modules were downloaded from the default location which was given by the installer screen, which is http.us.debian.org. So from the language selection screen I repeated all the steps above and downloaded the modules again. One more time, installer goes back to the language selection screen. I just jumped all the other steps and now the installer is installing the base system. I'll try to report the conclusion of my tests later when the installer finishes downloading the base-system. I'm using Adam's disks (rescue.bin and root.bin) which I got from http://people.debian.org/~aph/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.18-2001-12-18/images-1.44/udma100-ext3/ . -- André Luís Lopes Utah Linuxcenter [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utah.com.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Is it possible to install Potato *now* in this kind of hardware (maybe another set of disks not *officially* released) ?. Not having this hardware or any access to it, I have no idea. Maybe someone else on debian-boot will know? Or try the user support list? Let us know if we need to change anything. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]URL:http://www.onShore.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It really comes down to the chipset you use, the UDMA66 disks have support for the HPT366 chip (and others), but i think your motherboard would have a HPT370. All the UDMA100 motherboards i have seen also have an UDMA33/66 controller, if you plug your hdd into that slower controller you should be able to install to it using the UDMA disks. Then if you really want UDMA100 you may have to recompile a 2.4 kernel and move it to you faster controller. Glenn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
