I was wondering if anyone has run any into problems installing via FTP. I am using a Linksys Combo card (ec2t I think). I'm working with an unparitioned HD and ran fdisk mbr on the drive prior to installation. When I boot of the pcmcia.img image disk for Mandrake 7.1 pcmcia services start and I can connect to an ftp mirror to start the installation. The second stage is dowloaded but when it tries to continue with the install I get these errors.... ---------------Snip-------------------------- cardmgr[17]: + Can't open /var/run/pcmcia-scheme: No such file or directory cardmgr[17]: + ./network: /sbin/ifconfig: not found cardmgr[17]: + sed: not found cardmgr[17]: + usage: mount [-r] [-t <fs>] <device> <dir> (use -r for read only) (if /dev/ is left out of the device name, a temporary node will be created) cardmgr[17]: + ./netstat: not found cardmgr[17]: + ./network /sbin/ifuser: not found Shutting down socket 0 Executing: './network stop eth0' cardmgr[17]: + Can't open /var/run/pcmcia-scheme: No such file or directory cardmgr[17]: + ./network: /sbin/ifconfig: not found executing: 'rmmod pcnet_cs' cardmgr[17]: + pcnet_cs: Device or resource busy rmmod exited with status 1 executing: 'rmmod 8390' cardmgr[17]: + 8390: Device or resource busy rmmod exited with status 1 exiting ------------Snip-------------------------------------- After this it sends system kills and unmounts: /proc /tmp/stage2 you may safely reboot your system -----------------Snip---------------------------- in another tty I see * calling mount (/tmp/ram3, /tmp/stage2, ext2, -1058209792, (nil)) * removing device file /tmp/ram3 * method selection completed * writing network information to /tmp/ifcfg-eth0 * state saved to /tmp * symlink /tmp/stage2 Failed * second stage install and from here it hangs..... If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate some help =) I tried about 15 times to no avail. I get a connection with no problem I just can't complete the install. I used the pcmcia.img from the /current/ directory (not sure if this matters) Thanks!! Lonny Selinger Systems Adminstration EDS Canada
