I didn't see this tread until today, but this weekend I was doing an install and had the same recursive loop on a standard pentium 166. I downloaded the floppy disks from the same place as the other guy: ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/ /debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.22-2002-04-03/images-1.44/bf2.4 -rw-rw-r-- 3 debian debian 1308 Apr 1 08:18 README.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 driver-1.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 driver-2.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 driver-3.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 driver-4.bin -rw-rw-r-- 3 debian debian 16895 Apr 1 08:18 kernel-config -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 rescue.bin -rw-rw-r-- 1 debian debian 1474560 Apr 1 08:17 root.bin I'd try the incoming floppy images (where are they?) as suggested and inform back to you about it. But the images still seemed bad in Sunday as far as I can tell. I killed the install from the other shell and just finished the install by apt-get'ing the packages I needed so all was well in the end. Since you said: "Well I can't do anything without a debug log. Set DEBCONF_DEBUG=. and reproduce it, log output." How does one go about setting that? Must I rebuild the installer or just sent it as an env var or pass in kernel command line?
