Comments/Problems:
o ISOLINUX prompt hangs, then prints something like "Failed to get
sector size, assuming 0800" after ~1.5 minute and boots.
o Chose 3c59x for my network card and got the "Ethernet card not
found" hate-message... waited 10 seconds or so and my PCMCIA card
came to life as expected.
o Was then dropped into the "Configure the network" dialog box. "Go
back" didn't work at this stage.
o devfs. eww.
o There was no dialog/progress bar while creating partitions which
took quite some time.
o The system ejected the CDROM and gave me the "System Reboot" dialog;
after I pressed "Continue", it dropped into the "Configure debconf"
dialog, but I wasn't able to do anything with it as the system was
already rebooting.
* On reboot, the network didn't come up. I got the message below (by
hand cut'n'paste):
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesLinux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/i82365.o: /lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/i82356.o: unresolved symnol isapnp_find_dev_R27cb2cad
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.23-1-386/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module paramters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg
cardmgr.
o I selected "qwerty", "British" in the console tools config stage,
and saw "loading mac-usb-uk" flash past?
o P.S. woody installs fine on this laptop
