HI, i'm a recent debian GNU/linux user and i'm getting problems in installing a debian distro via network on a laptop Penthium 1 120Mhz 32Mb ram with no cd rom on it. I got for it a EP-427x 16 bit 100/10M Ethernet PCMCIA Adapter and started install following the instruction i found in the section "installation via network" of www.debian.org.
This is what I've done: 1)dowload of floppy disk images (rescue.bin and root.bin) from another pc connected to internet 2) creation of this two disks by command: dd if=file of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync 3)boot from these two disks on the laptop 4) when program modconf runs, i tried to conigure pCMCIA support, choosing controller i82365, and giving no further option to kernel. But i guess that here i failed because i got from PC firstly a high sound and then a low sound. 5) Afterwards i attepted to configure the device driver module for my card (which should be axnet_cs) but unfortunatly i didn't find it in the list. Then i decided to install a complete system by floppies so that i could restart the pc and look calmly for a solution. I dowloaded 4 driver.bin and 20 base.bin diskettes and istalled them all. then i started modconf again and i found axnet_cs driver in the list I istalled it (modprobe axnet_cs), but the result didn't change. if i give ifconfig, i just read a lo, but no eth0 on the /var/log/messages file i read: "no PCI interrupt routing table" and "no socket drivers loaded" What can i do? Could anybody help me? thanks in advnce Maurizio Gatto [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
