Problems:
Machine hanging some loop when it try start installer.
I get only blank screen and text cursor, when I open second session and looking
ps -A, deb-installer try restarting itself but nothing happenig.
My latest waiting time about 10 hours.
Comments:
Some old sarge is installed but old 2.2 kernel maybe too old to upgrading and I try reinstall whole system.
I go to some stupid upgradin loop...
(try upgrading kernel to
2.6.x, need some libraris, latest need glibc, can't install glibc when kernel too old) ];-(

Comments/Problems:
Can't mount CD-ROM
Maybe some scsi-module error?
I have same problem in my Alpha Server when I updating Sarge to
2.6.x kernel version
When I boot old system up, I can mount this installation CD.
