Not finding Kernel
Hello there debian linux ppl :-)
I have recently downloaded the Debian 2.2 r3 iso images from the uk debian
ftp site.
The only computer I have available which has a CD burner on it is Windows
2000 with Nero 5 available as the the CD writting software. The CD disks I
have had available are Vebatim 700MB disks.
I have burnt the images by renaming the iso files to nrg and using data
format 1, Block size of 2048 bytes per sector, File precursor and image
trailer set to 0 length, No scrambled and no Swapped.
It does then propmt whether it should correct a length problem. I have tried
both correcting and ignoring.
The Problem
------------
The disk 1 does boot and start leading me though instalation, however when
it comes to finding the kernel image off the CD, it fails and then looks on
the floppy disk. I have tried using rawrite2 to create an appropriate disk
on a varity of platforms but the instalation program fails to recognise it.
So my instalation doesn't go any futher than noting the keyboard, making the
partitions, mounting the root on hda1.
------------
Thank you for your time and effort on this. I got the e-mail address from
the help on the CD.
Regards
Flossy
