Subject: Bootable cdrom and floppy hang system
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.1.12
While installing debian's latest distribution (2.1r4), I have discovered
a possible bug with the dc390 driver, but only with my specific
motherboard (a Gigabyte 7IX Athlon mb). During the boot process of
an installation (either from a bootable cdrom, or from a floppy disk),
the entire machine locks up on the dc390 probe. The last message I see
is:
DC390: 0 adapters found
and I can do nothing: keyboard lights all go off, and I have to do a
hard reset. I have tested this on two Gigabyte boards, one with an
Athlon 500 and one with a 600. I'm not sure which other devices might
make a difference; the only other common devices between the two
machines are a Creative Labs Sound Blaster 16 PCI, and a 3dfx AGP voodoo
accelerator. I'm not sure what info you might need or whether what I've
told you is relevant; if you want more info please ask and I'll be happy
to supply it.
Here is the hardware for the Athlon 600 machine:
2 PCI ethernet cards (Realtech and Dlink)
1 ATI All-in-Wonder Pro AGP video card
1 Voodoo2 1000 PCI video accelerator
Sound Blaster 16 PCI
Diamond K56Flex modem (ISA)
36X cdrom
and for the Athlon 500 machine
1 PCI ethernet card
Voodoo3 2000 AGP video card
Sound Blaster 16 PCI
CD-writer
32X cdrom
33.6 modem (ISA)
I am booting with a Debian 2.1r4 cdrom and a Debian 2.1r4 floppy.

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.
Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels. There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.
In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.
Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.
The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
