Sarge lifimage install fails on gcc-3.0-base
Hi List,
I've been trying to install a 712 for the past week or so, using the
current Sarge lifimage:
http://archive.progeny.com/debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-hppa/20040801/images/boot.img
The first couple of times I tried mirrors inside HP. Today, I've been
trying via DSL from home from the mirror at archive.progeny.com.
After making my way through the partitioning screens (it seems to take a
lot longer than it should), I finally get to the "install the base
system" screen.
Here I get an error that "gcc-3.0-base" could not be downloaded.
I select "continue", and then get a popup telling me to check
/var/log/messages or VC3.
VC3 only lists the "physical volumes" message (from before
partitioning), same as /var/log/messages. Nothing useful
The last message on VC4 is
[date] base-installer: error: exiting on error
base-installer/debootstrap-failed
So, this time, I switched to VC2 and cd /target/var/cache/apt/archives.
Here I did a wget of ...../gcc-3.0-base_3.0.4-7_hppa.deb.
Switching back to VC1, I was sent back to the main installer menu and I
selected "install base system". I'm waiting now, for the installer to
get past the gcc-3.0-base error.
Has anyone seen this before? Ha anyone else tried the 20040801
lifimage? Should I go back to woody then dist-upgrade via apt?
Thanks,
-chuck
