Bug#233294: installation report - tar: Unrecognised file type

2004-02-18 Thread Eric Bus

Bug#232937: installation report: Failure 3

2004-02-16 Thread Eric Bus
This is third installation test with same computer. First succeeded (reported 18 Dec 2003 14:49:35 +0200). Second time lilo installation failed (reported 09 Feb 2004 02:01:04 +0200). Now I could not access hard disc at all. Not a promising trend:( Both problems are (afaik) related to

Floppy/network installation fails: tar Unrecognised file type

2004-02-16 Thread Eric Bus
Hi, I just tried the newest daily image (20040216) for debian-installer. I choose Unstable, because Testing gave some dependency problems in the past. Everything went fine (DHCP, partitioning, mounting). I selected 'Install base system' and d-i started downloading the packages. But after

Well - I trried that as well but I'm not clever enough to do it without dpkg-. I used apt-get to install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-686. When you get the LILO (or GRUB) configuration screen, press ALT-F2, Enter (which will give you an linux prompt). Type 'apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.24-1-686'

I tried d-i image from today (6.2.2004) and noticed that grub and lilo installation failed. The reason is that there was no kernel on the /target at all. When I looked at the apt cache there was no kernel-image* package avialable. I have the same problem with d-i images from 20040131 and up. But
