Problem installing base system on C180
I'm installing 2.4.22 (one CD) on a C180 workstation. It hangs when installing the base system.
The message is either:
Retrieving
file:/instmnt/pool/main/g/glibc/libc6_2.2.5-6_hppa.deb
or sometimes
Retrieving
file:/instmnt/pool/main/d/dpkg/dpkg_1.9.20_hppa.deb
I configured cfdisk with boot, swap, and Linux partitions.
At first, I tried to make the boot and Linux partitions bootable. The "PA-RISC Linux Boot HOWTO" guide suggests this in chapter 4.3.3. However, this produces an error message: "More than one primary partition is marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.". Therefore, I just made the boot (f0) partition bootable.
I have tried rebooting multiple times. I have cleaned dust off of the CD. I have also tried doing a bad block scan on the Linux partition. No luck.
Any ideas?
