This could be caused by the fact that you don't have a regular floppy drive I suppose? But again, I don't access floppy things during the setup of the network! :-). Yes, I think the floppy drive could be a red herring. The only reason I mention it is that it's the ONLY common feature between the two machines i've had it crash on. I don't have an easy way to test with a standard floppy drive, sorry :( We don't have a Sony USB floppy but a seamingly Teac FD-05PUB USB floppy, with network.img there is no noticeable difference, with usb.img the program sees it with no problem.. but I didn't unconnect the regular floppy of my test machine. Please confirm whether you have one or not. No regular floppy drive, I don't see them as necessary any more and don't like to clutter up my systems with them :). If you're wondering why in that case i'm installing from floppy in the first case, for two reasons: At the time I installed Cooker on my desktop I didn't have any 700MB CDs to write iso's to, so I did a floppy install instead. Trying to do an FTP install (though I tried with HTTP and also tried NFS even though I have no NFS source just to test if they all produced the crash - they all did) got this error; a hard disk install after downloading Cooker to a Windows partition worked OK. With my laptop, I can't get Mandrake to install with Sony's PCMCIA CD drive; it will boot off it just fine but won't see it after that, so when it gets to package selection it can't read the CD and says 'no hdlists found!' (Yes, i've tried the boot parameters listed in various places to get the CD drive recognised, but they don't seem to work. Hmm - actually, I guess maybe switching to a virtual console and modprobing the relevant PCMCIA stuff would help, but I didn't think of this at the time. May investigate further, but it'd be nice if DrakX did PCMCIA install media automagically.) Trying all the various forms of network installation gives the crash. A hard disk installation from the floppy would be harder since I don't have a Windows partition big enough to contain Mandrake, so I gave up and installed SuSE instead =). Oh, yes, to be noted - though I mentioned it before - this also happens with 8.2's disks. Can the other person having the problem test with those as well, to confirm? -- adamw

Really? Hmm. Could you run the same try, and at the time you enjoy the error, can you attach the report.bug? to get it: switch to console 2, put a dos floppy in floppy drive, and type bug - it will put report.bug on floppy and this file interests us I'm not sure it will work with a USB floppy. If it doesn't work, maybe you can try to mount your USB floppy by hand and copy the file /tmp/ddebug.log on the floppy and send it to us. It very likely won't work; my USB floppy gets created as /dev/sda and no-one seems to look for this (to make SuSE install I had to switch to a virtual console and symlink /dev/sda to /dev/fd0)...guess this is something else that could be looked at, if Mandrake expects to find fd0 :). Um, I could do this, but first can you confirm I can get to this stage in an install without breaking anything on a working system? Don't want to mess up my working SuSE install. This problem occurred with MDK 8.2, by the way - I haven't tried with Cooker, i'd rather keep release-version distros on the laptop. I tell you what - when 9.0 beta 2 comes out i'll burn those CDs and try it...is that OK? -- adamw

Disabling BIOS access to a device is not the same as disabling the device. Linux will still use it. However, some BIOSes do also disable the IRQ from the device, leaving you with a device visible to Linux but no way of getting IRQs from it. This can cause a problem with some USB interfaces. Better to either just enable it and ignore it, or alias the module for the driver for it to null to prevent Linux from initialising the controller. Cheers; Leon
