When you tried the floppy method, did you run rdev (or similar name)
with the right argument (or edited the script)? When I did this the
first times I got the same problem. Someone pointed me to rdev
arguments, and I then found out that for some reason the default
parameters make things mount read only. You can either remount it
writeable when the problem occurs (when installing), or change the rdev
script (and run it) so that the mountpoints gets mounted writeable.
Since it was a while ago I did this things might have changed, but it
could be worth a check.
As for the cd attempts, you did update all modules to match the new
kernel version, right? Otherwise I don't think modconf will find/use
them, thus you can't load them when installing. Thats why I suggested
to make all necesary drivers built in the kernel.
(At least I think that is what happens, but when it comes to module
configuration/usage you should realy ask someone else...)
