After failing to install Sarge at home I took my movable hard-disk to
the place with Debian mirror in the local net. Booting from floppies
went smoothly. Installation also, until installation of lilo failed.
Error message was almost impossible to read, because screen went back
to graphics mode. I looked /target/etc/lilo.conf and made a link:
ln -s /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc /dev/hda
No success!
error message was:
trying to enable the frame bufferr..
insmod: init_module: vesafb: no such device or address
modprobe failed to load module vesafb
modprobe failed to load module vga16fb
modprobe failed to load module usb-uhci
modprobe failed to load module usbkbd
keybdev
usbserial
/target/sbin/lilo -C /target/etc/lilo.conf
gave:
Fatal: trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0008 (NFS/RAID mirror down?)
I did not use driver floppy, because I only needed network card and
IDE disk support. Everything else can wait.
I installed Sarge successfully to the same computer I used now with
20031113 boot floppies. I posted a report on 18 Dec 2003 14:49:35
+0200.
