in what seemed to be a standard install of debian woody onto an 8500 i encountered some strange behavior.
here are the specs on the 8500: 4gb HD 212mb RAM (confirmed to work in another 8500 running woody) [booting from the installer kernel or the stock 2.4 kernel] installing off of a CDROM or over the network results in one of the following errors: 1. debootstrap exited with an error (return value 1) 2. failure configuring base packages (this will be repeated 5 times) i notice that when i try to install the base system with the 2.4 kernel, even though i get an error message, i am still able to boot the machine form the hard disk.... however, it hangs when trying to set the time zone. any ideas on this strange behavior? thanks dylan
