Hi
# apt-get install linux-image-2.6.12
Well I get to this bit and I am stuck because according to apt-get it
could not find this package. in fact it can't seem to find any
package!
I guess I need to set up apt-get.
i tried doing apt-get install netselect but of course it could not
find
install linux-image-2.6.12-1-686
finally read something about debian apt system :-)

Hi
Hi
It says I have already installed and am using 2.6.12 - bonus!
On the apt side of thing it seems I didn't have anything enabled. I
have two DVD's that I downloaded for Sarge.
However when I add them I get lots of error messages.
Is contrib is all I need? Are their other sources like updates
I agree this is a serious bug - the debian installer guys should pay close
attention to that !!! The linux26 is currently not installable on many PC's
with SATA disks and IDE CDROM's. The problem is probably caused by the broken
ata-piix/SATA driver being loaded before ide-cd driver and locking
Hi
1. boot the sarge CD and type linux26 at the prompt
2. switch to second virtual console (Alt-F2) as soon as the language
selection screen appears 3. manually load ide CD drivers by typing:
# modprobe piix ide-generic ide-cd
No problem
4. Return to first console and continue setup
I believe after you modprobe, to switch back to the installer try (Alt-F1).
This should switch you back to the original console.
Hope this helps.
