Re: HELP: Amiga 2000, Blizzard 2060---base system install fails!
Hello again!

Today I removed the Oktagon controller physically (software deactivation
did not do it), and tried to install Linux again.
This time I got much further, but then reached a point which I couldn't
get past.
I used the woody distribution (see my previous messages) and the problem
occured when I was asked to enter the source from which the
base installation should be performed.
A total of 6 alternatives were given:
* CDROM
* /dev/fd0
* /dev/fd1
* /dev/sfd0
* (Festplatte) = hard drive
* mounted
As I chose 'hard drive', the AMIGA partition on my IDE drive where I
dearchived the base installation files was not shown as a choice---only
the first unused and preprepared (but not initialized or formatted) Linux
partition.
I interpreted the information in the FAQs as if a Amiga partition could be
used, althought it seems a bit strange that Linux should be able to
read it...?
I also tried choosing 'CDROM'---where I had a installation CD-ROM disk
with the older version 2.2r5 of Debian/m68k---but then I was told that
the volume couldn't be mounted (Das Einbinden des Datenträgers ist
fehlgeschlagen).
(Doing the full install from this CD-ROM doesn't work for the same
reason as before---I never get to the first installation screen).
I supply the output of dmesg in an attachment (the last line about
the keyboard selftest only occurs sometimes---I don't think it is
relevant).
Note that the installation procedure did not freeze this time---I
can keep going back to the screen where I choose to perform the
base installation!
Are there any suggestions out there for me?
Regards,
