RE: SILO won't run



I'm not sure which version of the Debian install this is, I'm using the mini-sparc image that I found here: http://auric.debian.org/~bcollins/disks-sparc/current/

In any case, the issue with SILO comes up _during the install,_ so right now I'm stuck. The install wants to run SILO so the system can be bootable, but that won't run. For some reason it also will not create a boot floopy. Since I'm in the midst of an install, apt-get doesn't seem to be present, so I can't take your suggestion of updating and checking. Any other ideas?

Hmmm. You're not running Testing or Unstable by any chance?

Try doing (presuming you have an internet connection from that box)

apt-get update && apt-get check

Hopefully that will spot the broken dependency and fix it.
