Bug#153861: First Time User with a Problem

My name is Daniel, and I am trying to install your linux on my computer but I have come across a little trouble. This is the first time I have ever installed or even used linux so if I have done something obveously wrong, I am sorry for using your time. I have created the floppies that were requested, I remade the failing on several times but to no avail. When I insert the rescue disk and turn the computer on everything works as it should. I press enter to boot and install and it appears to be workin. I can see it loading linux, then identifying my hardrives and cd-rom. Then it stops (properly I believe) and I get this error screen.

floppy0: sensei repl[0]=c1, repl[1]=0

floppy0: sensei repl[0]=c2, repl[1]=0

floppy0: sensei repl[0]=c3, repl[1]=0

I at this point am suspicious but I put the root floppy in and press enter, I then get an error that flys by several times as if in a loop. It loads some other information than displays the error, then loads the information and displays the error again, four of five times I think, this is the error:

floppy0: floppy time out called

end_request: I/O error 01 dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 2

(I believe this number may change^)

Once this goes by several times, it stopps but has more errors listed, it goes as follows:

floppy0: floppy time out called

end_request: I/O error 01 dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 2

RAMDISK: couldn't find valid RAM disk images starting at 0

apm: BIOS version 1.1

Flags: 0.03 (driver version 1.13)

apm: Disabled on user request

VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

When I recieve this error I press enter as it says, I already have the root disk in the drive. I then flips through a very similar error screen (the one that flipped five times earlier, not the ending on directly above) with the same errors but two new lines that appeared two of the times it flipped, not at the same time, they were:

Ext_fs: Unable to read superblock

and

FAT: Bread Failed

Each of these appeared along with the other floppy0 timeout messages. When it finally stopped again I got one last error screen that I cannot get out of, it won't do anything at all, and from the wording, I don't blame it.

floppy0: floppy time out called

end_request:I/O error 01 dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 2

attempt to access beyond the end of the device

02:00: rw=0 want=33 limit=4

dev 02:00: blksize=1024, blocknr=32, sector =64, size=1024, count=1

isofs_read_super: bread failed dev 02:00 iso_blknum=16 blocks=32

Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00

This is where it ends, nothing more will come up after this. I have tried this several times but the result is always the same. I have tried several different disks but nothing has worked. I thank you for your time and kindess, and hope that I haven't kept you to long.

Thanks,

Daniel

Note: Some of the error messages above went past very quickly and were difficult to read, this is what I copied down and it is possible that there could be errors.
