Install Freeze
Hi all,
A simple problem. I'm installing debian 2.2 on my quadra 840av. I'm
using a seperate 500MB HD for the linux partitions and have 32MB of
physical RAM.
I've followed the install guide multiple times, to the t, and have even
redownloaded all the files again from a different server with a
different program to make sure they are intact.
The problem is this, I get to "Unpacking the base system" and it
freezes after 5 minutes. I know it freezes because I cannot switch
consoles and the cursor has stopped blinking. There are no other errors.
I tried rebooting, hoping that the base install had actually worked,
but no such luck. It said it couldn't find an init or something like
that. So I'm guessing it didn't finish.
I actually ran through the entire process again, this time with the
third console in front while the base unpacking ran. There were no
errors in there either.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I have had debian (potato) running on this machine before so I'm
stumped as to why it won't work.
