Bug#52820: Boot-Floppies
Package: boot-floppies
Version: Downloaded
architecture: i386
model: Custom; PII 400
memory: 64 meg
scsi: no
cd-rom: APATI; 40x
nic: NE2000 ISA
Okay, the problem I'm getting here.. Everytime I boot with the
resc1440.bin floppy
(or even boot of my Win98 partition) to do an install, after the kernel
is done loading
I get a message something like this:
Ramdisk Image found at block 0
crc errorMount minix root
That's not an exact quote of the error, but it's pretty close. I've
tried writing to a numerous
amount of different floppies, as well as re-downloading the floppy
images. I even tried
booting directly from the windows98 partition into the installation
media, which leads me
to believe that it isn't a bad sector problem on my floppies.
In addition, the first few times I did get the floppy working, the
installation went fine. But
when I went to reboot my system, the kernel loaded properly and
everything, then I got about
20 errors saying something about 'An error in the dynamic linker ld.so',
and the system froze.
This isn't the first time I've done a Debian install on this system, and
the previous install went
very smoothly with absolutely no hangups at all, which makes me think
this could be a hardware
problem.
Insights?
Thanks,
Ryan
