For a couple of days I have been trying hard to get sarge working on my computer at home. While searching in the web for the solution I have come across your mail answering a question, so I decided to write to you. Yesterday (17. Nov. 2003.) I downloaded the DVD images for sarge from a site near: ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sarge-dvd/sarge-i386-[12].iso -rw-r--r-- 1 steger users 4683399168 Nov 16 16:02 sarge-i386-1.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 steger users 2700705792 Nov 16 18:05 sarge-i386-2.iso md5sums: cd1: ac6afc5c6065ab6c8d3d342eacaa83f6 cd2: 27008f227b343515a6bf7f833c231847 It booted succesfully the install-kernel. Choosing the cdrom-retriever a lot of the modules needed are loaded. At a point it stucks however saying: # Installing the module usb-discover failed for unknown reasons. # udpkg: error while loading shared libraries: libdebian-installer.so.4: cannot open object file: No such file or directory not. annas's postinst exited with status 2048 # /usr/bin/udpkg: error while loading libraries: libdebian-installer.so.4 ... On `tty4' it reads: # user.debug installer[139]: configuring 'anna' failed with error code 256 # user.debug installer[139]: Menuitem 'anna' failed. # ... Lowering debconf priority limit from 'debconf/priority doesn't exist' to 'critical' # ... Package 'anna' printed to stderr, size=169. Or something very similar. From that point on nothing can be done, on `tty1' not even a shell can be retreived. Later on I tried to install some packages, by hand on `tty2' but was not succesful. I hope you have an idea what to do in my case or have a clue what references I should consult. Thank you in advance. Ps.: my computer consist of: Asus a7v, 800 MHz AMD-thunderbird, Maxtor and Quantum HDDs (partitioned, and found under /dev/ide/host[02]/bus[01]/target0/lun0/{disc,part*} formatted ext2 and ext3) Cheers, Józsi \\\ ||| /// ( @ @ ) +----------oOOo-(_)-oOOo--------------+ | URL: http://grail08.elte.hu/~steger | | Tel: +36/30-5763372 | | Add: H-8000 | | Székesfehérvár, Zámoly utca 33. | | oOOo | | ( ) oOOo | +---------\ (----( )---------------+ \_) ) / (_/ ----- End forwarded message ----- -- see shy jo
