I'm getting the following error while trying to install Debian 2.2: ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device not configured The attempt to extract the Rescue Floppy from disk failed I start the install from a 1.44MB rescue floppy, put in the root floppy, initialize the partition 'as ext2 for kernel 2.2 or better' (and initialized the swap partition). Then I ask it to install operating system kernel and modules from the CD-ROM. It works on that for a while and then stops with an error. >From the Alt-F3 virtual console: ---- installing kernel and modules from /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current /target/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17: Input/output error extracting Rescue Floppy from non-floppy device /instmnt/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current failed with 1 The attempt to extract the Rescue Floppy from disk failed. ---- >From the Alt-F4 virtual console: kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped kmod: runaway modprobe loop assumed and stopped The system is a K6 CPU in a socket 7 motherboard, (4) 8MB 72-pin SIMMs, modem, NE2000 clone Ethernet card, Hercules monochrome or similar video card, Western Digital 1 gig hard disk, 4x CD-ROM. This system runs Debian 2.0 and 2.1 just perfect. The CD is "Debian 2.2 CDR (6 D Set)" from LSL. Any suggestions for getting this to work would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Patrick Olson
