Subject: problems with install w/ 4/26 boot floppies
Bcc:
Package: boot-floppies
Version: unknown
Hi, I tried a fresh install onto a never-used new disk on a laptop (Compaq
Aero) and saw these problems.
- I got a screen listing /dev/hda as a possible disk to partition, but hitting
enter just took me back to the selection menu without actually invoking
'cfdisk', apparently. (Perhaps it got invoked and quickly crashed or
exited.) I was able to proceed by doing 'cfdisk' in another vt.
- At one point, the "background" screen got put into 'raw' mode (which is
ugly, and which requires typing ^J instead of enter). I'm not sure how this
happened; perhaps it's related to the above.
- There's a problem with the sequencing; it never did offer by default to
install or configure the base packages. I had to choose this as an
alternate. (The first time through, I got all the way to creating a boot
disk without this, and of course lilo was not found, etc.)
- During the modules setup, I saw some error message flash by regarding misc.o
or sc.o or something like that. I thought it was some kind of mismatch
message, but I'm not sure.
I was using the boot floppies in "frozen" (the tecra versions), in the 4-26
directory. The actual files seem to have been last touched on 5-11.
