Bug#220460: Installation fails during component download
Package: installation
Version: sarge i386 floppy images
Procedure: boot from boot floppy image, load floppy image, load additional
driver floppy image, select NIC driver, network configured using DHCP,
installer component download begins and progresses almost to completion (90%+).
This error message, "Loading scsi-extra-modules_2.4.22-1-386-di failed for
unknown reasons. Aborting", was produced near the end of the module
download stage. Options to "Go Back" and "Continue" both lock up the
installer and no further progress appears possible.
This occurs with both the 9th Nov images and the latest 12th Nov images
(using net_drivers-img.img from the 9th Nov), and the failure is repeatable.
The machine in question is a Dell Latitude XPi P133ST laptop (P133, 32MB,
4GB, 800x600x8, Neomagic NM2070, ESS ES1888 PnP AudioDrive), fitted with a
D-Link DE-660 PCMCIA network card (selecting the pcnet_cs driver during
installation).
I'm happy to provide any more information you'd like, or to retry with
updated images and report back.
Regards,
Chris
