Thecus N2100 installation problem
Hi,
I'm trying to install Debian Lenny on a Thecus N2100. I've followed the howtos
on http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/index.html . However, during
"Installing the base system", the installer reports an error:
An error was returned while trying to install the busybox package onto the
target system.
Check /var/log/syslog or see virtual console 4 for the details.
The last lines of /var/log/syslog can be found at the bottom of this post.
It seems like there have been some people experiencing this on a NSLU2, e.g.
http://www.nabble.com/NSLU2-Debian-install-failure-td23736014.html . According
to this thread, the error was gone after several installation attempts.
Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Jonas
