Re: Cant install Sarge on my new laptop

[John Miller <jmiller@thecsl.org>]

Hi Zouari,

I've run into a similar problem when installing in expert26 mode (I used
the full-CD install, though).  Have you tried ignoring the errors and
seeing if they come up again?  Try installing in spite of the errors.

If that doesn't work, I see no reason why you should switch to the 2.4
series kernel.  What about the linux26 boot option?  Are you able to
install with it?
