Hello.

The modules that I have in the fs section is:

binfmt_aout
ext
hpfs
ncpfs
nfs
nls_cp*
nls_iso8859_ (nine of then!)
nls_koi8_r
smbfs
sysv
ufs
umsdos
vfat
xiafs

There is no isofs module.
My Debian 2.0 is from Linux Central.

Thank you,
Cristiano Viana

Hello, Tom.

In the file systems (fs), there is no isofs module or anything like this.
My Debian is from Linux Central.

Thank you,
Cristiano Viana

Try calling modconf. If you have it installed already (when it is part 
of the base system), then you don't have to redo the installation.

During these steps when you set up modules, you need to install the
isofs module. It's under file systems (fs). This is what gives you
support for the iso99960 file system which is what the cdrom uses.
Without that, you will not be able to mount a cdrom.

While you're there, be sure to install modules for any other file
systems you want such as fat, msdos etc.

Help! My CDROM is terrible. I can't mount it. [PART 2]

1999-01-24 Thread Cristiano Viana
Hello.

I am sending you how I am installing Debian.
Maybe with a little more information you can help me.
What I am doing is:

(1) Boot from the CD-ROM
(2) I choose "color"
(3) I choose the "US Keyboard"
(4) Initialize and activate a swap partition (my HD has two partitions)
(5) Initialize a Linux partition
(6) Install operating system kernel and modules, from CD-ROM drive (/dev/hdd
ATAPI IDE)
(7) Configure device driver modules (I choose to install the modules: cdrom,
lp and serial)
(8) Configure the network (hostname "debian", then "no")
(9) Install the base system
(10) Configure the base system (timezone, country...)
(11) Make linux bootable directly from HD
(12) Make a boot floppy
(13) Reboot the system (using HD)
(14) Choose password for root
(15) Create a normal user account
(16) Enable shadow passwords
(17) Remove the PCMCIA packages
(18) Said no to PPP connection to install the system
(19) Kind of installation: work_sci
(20) In dselect, I choose [A]ccess, CD-ROM, block device name: /dev/hdd
Then I get the error message:

mount: fs type iso9660 not supported by kernel
unable to mount /dev/hdd on /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt, type iso9660

Why this?
I was using the CD-ROM to install Debian and now he does not recognizes it
anymore.

What can I do to install the packages?

Thank you,
Cristiano Viana

I had the same problem.  Try this command:

insmod isofs

then run your mount command

So your kernel doesnt understand the filesystem (iso9660) of the CD,
just recompile your kernel with iso9660 support or make a module aout of
it (if possible) and load it

Help! My CDROM is terrible. I can't mount it.

1999-01-24 Thread Cristiano Viana
Hello.

I am here trying to install Debian 2.0.
After setting the passwords of the root user and a normal user, I would like
to install some software packages.
But my CDROM does not mount.
In the boot, Debian says that my CDROM drive is hdd.
When I try to mount it (mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cdrom), the error message
tells me that iso9660 is not supported by the kernel.
What can I do to install my packages?

Thank you,
Cristiano Viana
