I went to http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and
downloaded the boot,root and
network drivers floppies.
I am using these to install sarge
testing
I have the following setup (custom tower server).
- AMD Athlon XP, 2166 MHz (6.5 x 333) 2700+
- Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Motherboard
- 1024 MB (DDR SDRAM)
- NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X
- Primary on IDE1 Maxtor 6Y060L0 (60 GB, 7200
RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
- Primary on IDE2 Maxtor 6 Y200P0 SCSI Disk
Device (200 GB, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
- Maxtor 6Y200P0 (200 GB, 7200 RPM,
Ultra-ATA/133) on the Promise PDC20276
IDE controller
- Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (on
motherboard)
- NETGEAR FA311/FA312 PCI Network Adapter
- CD drive
- Panasonic DVD-RAM drive
I am installing onto the 60GB drive on the
primary IDE controller. This system has already had
- Redhat 8
- Redhat 9
- Slackware 9.1
- Fedore Core 1
installed on it and I already have the 6Gb ext2
partition ready to install onto. I get past mounting
/ on the ext2 partition and the installer downloads
and then starts installing the base packages.
I then get
!! Install the base system
Base system installation error The debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 127). You might find more information in /target/var/log/debootstrap.log The only error in the debootstrap.log is at the
end:-
Setting up libtextwrap1 (0.1-1) ...
Setting up tasksel (1.43) ...
Errors were encountered while
processing:
lilo /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found I can send the full debootstrap.log if
needed. I have seen one reference to this but it suggests
using the woody debootstrap. I am not sure how to
do this since I am using floppies. I do not
want to use CD's since I will be installing
regularly and I don't want to keep on burning CD's.
[I am trying to keep up with all the major
distributions - Redhat,Slackware,Debian,
Suse (not yet installed!).]
Any idea how I can proceed or when a new installer
with the fix will be available?
Kind Regards,
David.
