Installation blues...
Greetings Debian People!
I put in the boot disk and get:
Boots the kernel .... [other stuff blows along the screen]
then I get:
VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into ramdisk and press enter
In goes the root disk and I get:
RAM DISK: compressed image found at block 0 invalid compressed format
(err=2)<5> VFS: Insert root floppy and press enter
If I hit enter again I get a bunch of stuff (MS-DOS FS Rel. 12,...) and finally:
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 02:00
Then it is time to reboot.
Anyone have some advice for me on how to get by the root disk stage of the
installation? TIA!
Dennis
