Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: After I installed the system sucessfully and worked a little bit on it, the harddrive has started giving strange error messages and the filesystem is totally f***ed up now. I believe this is a hardware problem though. I only took the machine to try the installer. Haven't used it for a year or two. Here the problems during the install: I use a pcmcia network card, but the PCMCIA bus was not correctly configured (insmod of ds.o failed, because there was no socket driver loaded), so the network didn't work. After the install I used modconf to load the correct module and it worked. Don't know what the problem exactly was. I can give you a lspci output later if wanted. I encountered some minor problems during the install process: While creating the filesystems, I selected /dev/hda1 and ext2 and /boot. Then I selected /dev/hda2 (which was already a swap partition) and "keep filesystem". After that /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 were both marked as to be mounted on /boot After the note about the reboot showed up a note about debconf priorities, but I couldn't read it since the reboot was already started. Somewhat confusing ;) Gruesse, -- Frank Lichtenheld <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> www: http://www.djpig.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
