I just installed Hamm (base) on a PS/2 model 70 tonight. I don't know
what rescue disk you are installing with but the one I had success with
I found at,
ftp://ns.gold-link.com/pub/LinuxMCA/
I tried installing Slink first but I think the base may have been too
large for my HD which is 58MB. I received a "superblock" error and
couldn't boot. So I used the 'MCA-2.2.7-hamm.bin' disk and the regular
Hamm base files. When asked during the install for the "Modules" disk I
put in the regular 'drv1440.bin' disk but it wasn't read. Continued
with the install and everything worked out fine.
hth,
kent
