| I am doing (or attempting to do) a net install 
of woody using the latest boot new-powermac floppies (files dated April 2nd) on 
my Powerbook G3 (Pismo). (500Mhz, 640MB ram, 10gig free for linux) All seems to go fine until it configuring device 
drivers. When I select 'Next' it pauses a moment and skips straight to 
installing the base system and then while installing base system I get 
"debootstrap exited with an error (return value 139)". Looking in /var/log/messages there is one user.err 
massage about "del_loop ioctl got negative result doing LOOP_CLR_FD on device 
/dev/loop0; this is probably not a big deal" Anyone have any suggestions what might be going 
wrong, or how I can debug further? I did a week or two back manage to install using 
the powermac floppies, but the resulting installation was too unstable to use 
for much, hence the attempt to start over using new-powermac. Cheers, --Ian |
