still woody install problems

Dear all, since no one replied to my previous question I will try again. Trying to install woody 3.0.7 I got a "mount -t proc proc /proc" failed error message. I know that this problem already occured in previous versions, but it was reported to have been fixed in 3.0.7. However, I still h

IBM 830 Install problems...

Sorry to bother the list, but I didn't see anything about this in the archives... Has anyone had any success in install Debian onto IBM 830's, without using tftp (not currently an option for me). I've tried a handful of things, first the floppies, which load the boot image up until it asks

Re: network install problems on 7200/90

This is the problem which I mistakenly labeled as "the MACE driver being completely broken". And since I last tried using it, I speculated that pump was the culprit. Now I'm glad someone confirmed it. The problem does indeed exist in kernel 2.4.2. Adam On Mon, Apr 02, 2001 at 11:33:29AM -0700,

Re: network install problems on 7200/90

My experience (using a PowerMac 7300) is a mixture of these two experiences. What I have seen, using a 2.2.18 kernel I built myself, is: (1) if I configure /etc/network/interfaces to use a static IP address, networking works great, (2) if I use dhcpcd (I have to get the deb from potato since its

MACE seems to work "fine" on all my old worlds: 7200/75, 7600/200, 8500/200MP. 2.2.18pre21 and 2.2.17. I'm using the TP port. a Adam Goode wrote: > > Yes, I have had this problem. The short answer is: MACE is completely > broken in recent 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. It seems to be able to send 1-2 >

Re: network install problems on 7200/90

Yes, I have had this problem. The short answer is: MACE is completely broken in recent 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. It seems to be able to send 1-2 packets before failing with "lost a status word". These few initial packets allow DHCP to work ok, while everything else fails. I don't know how to fix it, al

network install problems on 7200/90

Hi all! I'm trying to install Debian on my 7200/90. After getting a boot-floppy that recognized my keyboard (2.2.19, 2000-11-22), I was able to boot into the install program. Now I wan't to get the drivers/modules from the network. eth0 (MACE) is configured ok and the default route is ok, but I'm

Install problems

I'm trying to install Debian on a G4. The actual installation works flawlessly, with the exception of the atyf128 driver not being in the kernel - but video=ofonly gets around this. I've been told this has been fixed in incoming. There's two internal SCSI hard drives, both are going to be used b
