Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-02-20
Severity: important

I've been attempting to install woody from CDROM onto a system that has a pcmcia
based CDROM drive.  I have been using the *unofficial* CDROMs generated via jigdo
from the Hungary master site.

The system is not recognizing my PCMCIA hub and CDROM.  This appears
to be due to the fact that /lib/modules/<kernel> is basicly empty on
these CDROMs.  I'm somewhat astonished to say that, since I would expect
standard (non-laptop) network installs to fail due to people not being
able to load their ethernet card drivers.

I have tried both disk 1 (2.2.20 kernel) and disk 3 (2.4.17bf kernel).
Neither disk has the required drivers.

Am I doing something wrong here or are the kernels used in the CDs
corrupted, or what?  I've already asked on debian-boot to no luck,
and Brian Hayes suggested I file a bug report against boot-floppies.

	NOTE: I have since brought this system up by creating a fat partition
	in the swap area and putting copies of drivers.tgz and repair.bin
	there and doing this by hand, but I know that that's not what you
	intended.

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.
