Re: Problems with installation using 2.4.18-bf2.4 in testing.

Everything works fine until I reboot.
When I reboot, a screen load of 01's (literally) spray out on the
screen, and I'm forced to reboot.

After creating a grub boot disk, I boot my debian installation and find
that my lilo.conf contains
disk=/dev/hde
bios=0x80

disk=/dev/hdg
bios=0x82

After doing a bit of diagnostics with grub commands I found out that hdg
should be 0x81 not 0x82 as shown above.

Upon rebooting after the boot disk install, the config program keeps on
looping over the same questions. From memory I think its md5 passwords,
shadow passwords, then locale, then repeat back to the beginning.
By the way,
I think you people are doing a great job, and I am more than happy to
help to the best of my ability.

Any ideas ??

Looks like you had two problems and you solved one of them (the HD recognition thing).

The looping problem has just popped up and has been discussed earlier on this mailing list, and on Debian-User too. See the thread above (this month) about "Installation troubles (Was: [2002-04-30] Release Status Update) Christophe TROESTLER" for some more info. You also might want to check for similar threads on Debian User within the past week or so.
