I'm installing Mandrake 6.1 onto a Toshiba Tecra laptop. Using FTP install with DHCP. I start the installation.... DHCP works fine (the PCMCIA/Ethernet seems ok) and the machine gets it's DNS and gateway settings properly. I then enter "linuxTecra" for the machine name and leave the doman blank (I have no domain - just 10.0.0.x NAT attached to a cable modem). Then, right after entering my FTP server address (10.0.0.2) and root directory "/", the screen says "Loading second stage ramdisk". The meter progresses a little and then the message below comes on the screen. I have installed another machine successfully from the exact same FTP server (and Mandrake files) so those seem OK. I have also successfully installed RH6.0 on to this portable and it does *not* give this error message. Any ideas what was changed on Mandrake to crash the install? The tecra is: pentium, 144Meg, 2Gig HD on primary IDE, CDrom on secondary IDE. BIOS is current. =========================================== /usr/bin/runintall2: cannot create /modules/modules.cgz: read-only file system install exited abnormally sending termination signals...cardmgr[14]: + cat: not found cardmgr[14]: + ./network: /sbin/ifconfig: not found cardmgr[14]: + sed: not found cardmgr[14]: + .: Can't open ./setwork.opts cardmgr[14]: check cmd exited with status 2 cardmgr[14]: exiting done sending kill signals...done unmounting filesystems... /tmp/pcmcia /tmp/image /proc you may safely reboot your system
