This system has a 4.0 gb Simple Technology (Fujitsu) hard disk using =
EZ-BIOS from Micro House International.
When I try to install from the floppy disks but I get:
Partition check: [592/255/63] which is wrong. Should be 629/240/63, =
which comes up right in the hard disk boot
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0002c877
followed by many more lines of addresses.
I can't seem to see what the memory check is saying so perhaps I would =
need to specify the amount of memory. I noticed after this that in =
Windows for some reason I'm showing only 16mb of memory even though I =
have 20mb installed.
When I boot from the hard disk I get:
request_module [block-major-58]: Root fs is not mounted
VFS: cannot open root device 3a:05
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:05

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
