Machine: Toshiba SatPro 4300 Series Laptop Processor: P3 600Mhz Memory: 192 mb Root Device: 30 Gb IDE Hitachi Travelstar Root Size/partition table: Disk /dev/hda: 30.0 GB, 30005821440 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3648 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 3617 29053521 83 Linux /dev/hda2 3618 3648 249007+ 82 Linux swap Output of lspci: [Don't have this due to failed install; I'm planning to install woody shortly and can provide this info after that if it's needed/useful] Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [E] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: o ISOLINUX prompt hangs, then prints something like "Failed to get sector size, assuming 0800" after ~1.5 minute and boots. o Chose 3c59x for my network card and got the "Ethernet card not found" hate-message... waited 10 seconds or so and my PCMCIA card came to life as expected. o Was then dropped into the "Configure the network" dialog box. "Go back" didn't work at this stage. o devfs. eww. o There was no dialog/progress bar while creating partitions which took quite some time. o The system ejected the CDROM and gave me the "System Reboot" dialog; after I pressed "Continue", it dropped into the "Configure debconf" dialog, but I wasn't able to do anything with it as the system was already rebooting. * On reboot, the network didn't come up. I got the message below (by hand cut'n'paste): Starting PCMCIA services: modulesLinux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/i82365.o: /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/i82356.o: unresolved symnol isapnp_find_dev_R27cb2cad ds: no socket drivers loaded! /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module paramters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg cardmgr. o I selected "qwerty", "British" in the console tools config stage, and saw "loading mac-usb-uk" flash past? o P.S. woody installs fine on this laptop -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
