Bug#96237: boot-floopies problem
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.23
flavor: vanilla
architecture: i386
model: Toshiba Tecra 510CDT (laptop)
memory: 148 megs
scsi: none
cd-rom: Toshiba XM-1502B (ATAPI compatible)
network card: 3Com 3CCFE574BT (PCMCIA)
pcmcia: The network card is the only PCMCIA device on this
machine
Immediately before the main menu appears, I see a whole bunch of
messages that look like this:
"modprob: modprob: Can't open dependencies file
target/lib/modules/2.2.19pre17..."
I'm trying to install over a network. At the "Select Installation
Medium" screen, my network card does not appear in the list.
Recognizing that I probably need to set up PCMCIA first, I select
"Configure PCMCIA support" from the main menu. After answering all the
questions, I receive the following error message:
"An error encountered while trying to load and configure the PCMCIA
modules"
Very informative.
At this point I am thoroughly confused. I select "Configure Device
Driver Modules" from the main menu. After answering "yes" to the
question, I receive the following error message:
"Problem: No modules were found in /target/lib/modules/2.2.19pre17 that
could be configured. Please install the modules first."
I have some vague notion that the modprob errors I got at the beginning
are somehow related to the absence of device driver modules on the root
disk I downloaded.
I tried downloading the root disk again, but the same thing happened.
I have read the installation manual, but I couldn't find the answer to
my problem.
