I just downloaded the 7 or 8 ISOs from an site in Great Britain and made an attempt to 
install. You should know, purely from a mechanical view, that after installing the 
packages from the first CD the machine simply went to a black screen and stayed there. 
I had no idea of what might be going on. When hitting Enter after waiting for a 
message of some kind to appear, the machine finally asked for the second CD, but you'd 
never have known where you were in the process until you hit Enter. That surely cannot 
be what you intend. 

That notwithstanding, I could not get X-Window to install, a rather important matter. 
You have a very attractive work product in Debian 3.0. Its a shame I can't use it; I'd 
like to.

The installer uses mklibs.py for library reduction. It sounds 
like you want a version without reduced libraries, although that
might not fit on a floppy anymore. But to get it, I would say you
would need to get the source for boot-floppies

apt-get source boot-floppies

and then build it after figuring out how to switch off the reduction.

Just my .02

Bug#156452: no boot floppies in 'ide' flavor

[Andras Czirok]

Package: boot-floppy
Version: 3.0.23-2002-05-21

Contrary to the documentation, there is no "ide" folder in
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.23-2002-05-21

Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: i386

ATA 100 Hard Disk Problem

[Christian Heller]

Hi,

I've got a new ATA100 hard disk and tried to install Debian 3.0 Woody
from new CD-ROMs I just bought. Unfortunately, the boot process doesn't
get any further than the messages below. The ATA seems to be recognized
and supported but not so the partition table. My hardware (only drives) is:
hda: WD, HDD
hdb: LS-120
hdc: Pioneer, DVD-ROM
hdd: -
hde: Maxtor, ATA100, 60 GB, HDD

--- 8< ---
...
hda: WDC ...
hdb: LS-120 VER5 ...
hde: Maxtor 4d060H3, ATA DISK drive
ide0 at ...
...
hde: 120069936 sectors (61476MB) w/2048kiB Cache, CHS=119117/16/63, UDMA(100)
...
Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3 hda4
hde: unknown partition table
--- 8< ---

Well, it doesn't go any futher. I tried all four kernels offered at the
boot prompt but only bf24 seemed to recognize the ATA controller.
What's wrong?

Thanks,
Christian

ATA 100 Hard Disk Problem, No 2

[Christian Heller]

Me once more. I've just found this link:
http://www.geocities.com/ender7007/

It explains some things but doesn't tell how to manage the kind
of boot problem I have. In section 6 they write about Debian.
In section 7 (SuSE) they mention that it also fails with a partition
check.

 assist/aid us always in the war prosecution. Before
 the death of my former boss, we were given some
 funds(US$55m) to procures ammunitions. My boss
 deposited it with a private security company in
 Europe. It was only I and him that are aware of thiscash deposit.
 I now want to claim this funds and I have all the

I could not find any documentation reference to 'ide'; are you looking
at the potato documentation?
