Friends in the Debian world; I am having problems installing Debian 1.2.3 from my new CD. First, I could not write the resq disk at all and get a bootable floppy. I FTP'd the installation set and wrote floppys with rawrite2 that work; now I am having trouble getting the installation to work.
My system is a P60 with 16 mb ram, a 540m drive at hda & a 250 mb drive at hdb. scd0 is an old single speed Intersect CD-Rom attached to a Trantor T130b controller. I finally chased down a copy of g_NCR5380.c to find the names to pass my port and irq to the driver, and the CD is recognized and mounted without a problem. When I run dselect I get constant CD-ROM errors - queue disconnects and other driver-generated errors. I thought there might be a problem with the g_NCR5380 module installation so I booted back into my slackware system and built a boot disk with the existing kernel. I then booted Debian with it and got the same trouble. I should note that when I installed slackware I used the same setup with virtually no problems. For slackware I passed the kernel ncr5380=0x348,5 and for Debian I passed the module ncr_irq=5 ncr_addr=0x348 ncr_5380=1 I also tried it with addr=0x340 & ncr_53c400=1 Same results. Any ideas where I can look? I would really like to install but don't want to tie up my phone line for 8+ hours over a 14.4 link downloading packages.
