problem with installation
Hi I'm new to the list - I've joined to get some help with installation! I have an IBM Thinkpad 360 with 12 meg RAM and 340 meg HDD. It only has a floppy drive so I downloaded the floppy images (for slink). I booted the rescue floppy and got as far as partitioning the hard drive and mounting the filesystem (I mounted /dev/hda1 on /, /dev/hda2 as swap, and /dev/hda3 on /usr). But when I get to install the kernel and modules, I get an error mounting the rescue floppy. I tried to mount it manually by firing up a console, but it told me "/dev/fd0 is not a valid block device". I did notice in the help pages on the rescue floppy that Thinkpads may need some extra parameters when booting, but if I try any of them it seems to think I'm going for a ramdisk option and asks me for a root floppy. Of course I'm trying to install to the hard drive, but it only seems to want to do that as the default installation, which doesn't seem to accept any parameters. Any ideas? I know a bit about GNU/Linux from other distributions but I'm new to Debian. Thanks, Jake

problem with installation of kernel modules
Hi all, I currently install Debian 2.1 from an ATAPI (IDE) CD-ROM drive. I have problems to execute the step "install kernel modules". The setup software refuses to mount my CD-ROM drive. I get a list with entries from /dev/hda/ to /dev/hdh/. I tried all alternatives but in all cases I recieved the error message: could not mount CD-ROM drive. What is wrong here? As I successfully booted the Linux kernel from Cd-ROM at the beginning of the install procedure it is a big surprise for me that suddenly Linux refuses to mount my CD-ROM drive. How can I fix this problem? With kind regards Christian

Re: problem with installation program
Steve, I had a similar problem when trying to install the EXACT same CD from my book. I do however have SCSI peripherals. What I eventually ended up doing was downloading Debian off of the net and it is now running great! I know that is not what you are looking for. Something I ran across however is a jumper on my CD ROM. It is labeled "Block". This jumper, if set, told the controller that it was dealing with a UNIX block device. If your CD ROM has a jumper like this try setting it the opposite of what it is currently set at. You may have some success. Good luck.

I've spent some time looking at the debian website (www.debian.org), but haven't found anything relevant there either. 3.

problem with installation program
Dear Linux users: I am attempting to install Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 from the CD that accompanies the book: Learning Debian GNU/Linux (Bill McCarty, O'Reilly, Sebastopol, Sept 99, 1st ed.). The problem I am currently having is that I cannot get the installation program to start. It would seem that the problem relates to the last message displayed: "NCR53c406a: no available ports found." See below. So far, I've looked into the problem as follows. 1. I've looked at the Help items accessed by pressing F1 while the below Welcome screen is up, but none of these items seems relevant. 2. I've spent some time looking at the debian website (www.debian.org), but haven't found anything relevant there either. 3. I did internet searches with several search engines and the the search text, "NCR53c406a: no available ports found." Snap.com returned some webpages relating to "boot arguments for scsi peripherals." I looked at some of these, but didn't find any information applicable to my situation. Furthermore, my computer does NOT contain any scsi components, so it seems strange that the problem should relate to scsi. I would very much appreciate any insights or suggestions that would help me clear this hurdle. Sincerely, Steven P.S. See details below. --- The sequence of events that lead to the failure of the installation program follows. (The failure is repeatable on my system.) 1. Boot the computer from the debian CD. 2. The Welcome screen appears. Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 2.1! ... This disk uses Linux 2.2.12 (from kernel-image-2.2.12_2.2.12-1) Press for help, or to boot! boot: 3. Press Enter. 4. A series of messages scroll up the screen and then stop. The following is the list of messages that remains on the screen.

I assume you have the 5 or 6 images (resc1440.bin, etc) in a directory on a DOS (or Win9x/NT) machine. You also need rawrite2.exe (or the older rawrite.exe). You can get this file from the same place you got the other files. Go to a DOS prompt and change dirs to the directory where the files are. Type: rawrite2 You'll be asked for a source file and a destination. For source, enter the name of the first file image (resc1440.bin). Make sure you have a floppy in the A (or B) drive. Floppies are notoriously "iffy" for this process, so you might want to make sure you've got good (new?) freshly-formatted floppies. For destination, enter the drive letter of the floppy. Then you'll see a message about copying the image. Repeat the above steps for each of the other file images (except not for rawrite2.exe itself). You'll want to label the floppies as you go so you don't get confused later as to which floppy is which (Rescue Disk, Base 1, Base 2, etc). After the last floppy has been created, you should be able to boot off the Rescue Disk (resc1440.bin). You'll also need one more floppy in order to make a boot disk later during the install.

My suspicion now is that his resc1440.bin file is corrupt, or like Mike says above, didn't get copied properly to a good floppy. Try copying the image to a different floppy using rawrite2. === Kent West | Technology Support/ | Abilene Christian University| Voice: 915-674-2557 FAX: 915.674.6724 | ACU Station, Box 29005 | E-MAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Abilene, TX 79699-9005 | Ham:KC5ENO, General | ===

Re: problem with installation
Your problem must be perplexing. I just installed a machine last night with floppies with nary a problem. There may be something in the way your box is reading the floppy drive during boot. I used rawrite to create the rescue disk, driver disk, and the five bin disks, then stuck the rescue in the box to which I was loading Linux, and pressed reset. Maybe you may want to recreate your disk on fresh floppies. Floppy disks can be tempermental, and flake out on a moments notice.

chicken and egg problem with installation on a floppyless system
Hi there, Ive been trying to install DEBIAN onto my laptop for quite a while now. at one point i did succeed but now im screwed and have run out of ideas. in a nutshell: i have a compaq contura aero 4/25 this machine has an external pcmcia floppy drive i also have a pcmcia ethernet card for it. the computer will only recognize the floppy if it boot with it in the slot - BUT then it doesnt recognize the presence of the slot even if i take the floppy out. in order to have the computer recognise the pcmcia slot, i have to boot with the floppy out. the ethernet card causes no such problem. with the ethernet card in or out, the computer recognizes the presence of the pcmcia slot. Now for the problem: a few months ago, i installed debian using the 2.0.6 kernal. i made a set of boot/root/base/modules disks and successfully installed everything i wanted [or could fit onto my 170 MB drive]. now, i bought a new 1.3GB drive and want to move everything over. Here is what i have tried 0) use the old 2.0.6 setup to contact ftp.debian.org and make a new set of boot/../ disks. 1) physically install the new hard drive. 2) boot the computer with the floppy in and start feeding in the new disks. 3) now since the floppy is in, the computer refuses to recognise that i have a pcmcia slot - so it wont load/configure the proper kernel modules. 4) i cant get the kernel source and the new modules into the computer by hand since my only means of data ingress is through the floppy and the kernel .deb package is > 1.44MB. 5) i retreated to the 2.0.6 disk set that i had saved from before. 6) i reinstalled that set successfully. 7) having much more room on the hard disk, i resolved to update all packages to more recent rev levels. 8) when the pcmcia packages came over [via ftp] something went wrong. 9) now ive lost pcmcia support - ie the ethernet card wont work - so no more ftp - so i cant recover the previous state. 10) i could reinstall from step 5) above. but i would like to bootstrap up to the current rev level. any hints? it seems to me that i just need to do things in the proper order and i cant seem to figure this out. my news server is a bit dicey to work so please email any replies directly to me [ill post a summary if somebody indicates that it would be a useful thing to make public] thanks in advance for your help... [oh and by the way, im in a bit of a rush to do this as i am leaving the internet on saturday to be with my wife who is expecting twins anyday now... i know its a bit much to ask for help - and to ask for it fast - but pleaseif i can be helped - help me.] -Ketan what came first DEBIAN or the FLOPPY? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I am in the middle of an upgrade from Debian 1.1 to 1.2 right now and ran into the same problem. Download the libc5 from the unstable directory. It seems that a few packages got into stable when the libc5 they needed wasn't. An easy fix though Oh, if you need/want the libc5-devel package, you'll need to get it from unstable as well.
