Comments/Problems:
(Should be deja vu for those on the debian-boot
mailing list. Sorry.)
When I attempted to install with the 2003-12-31
netinst CD, not long after I did the language
selection, I got an error message like this:
"The integrity check for <FOO> failed. It is most
likely corrupt. Aborting."
After that, I was able to reboot and get back to my
old system.
<FOO> varies a bit. On one attempted install, it was
"base-installer"; on another "baseconfig-udeb"; on
still another "bterm-unifont." I thought the problem
might be DMA-related, because I have an older 8x
CD-ROM
that, though otherwise reliable, does screwy things
when DMA is enabled for it. However, starting the
install by typing "linux ide=nodma" at the "boot:"
prompt did not change anything.
I burned the sarge-i386-netinst.iso onto two different
CDs. Both yielded the same results.
