Re: installation problem when installing device driver modules
I can't even get as far with my install attempt. I have Slink, and have
tried both CD and floppy installs. With the CD the error is that the
system doesn't know how to uncompress the archive--a .gz. With the floppy
install I get:
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00
Well, device 02:00 is my floppy, and this error only appears somewhere
during the second floppy loading the kernel.
Any advice most appreciated. I'd really like to go Debian, if I can.
BTW: I'm running on a DEC AS200/233 (Avanti).
