Hello.. I recently received a Debian 2.1 CD
with the O Reilly Book "Learning Debian GNU/Linux"
Every time I try to boot and start the initial
installation (either from the CDROM, or any of the boot images supplied,
including tecra) I recieve the following error: NCR53c406a: No available ports
found. I never see the install program whatsoever. The PC I'm
installing to is an Athlon 600, FIC mboard/via chipset, 64 MB RAM, ALL IDE (0
SCSI). The bootdisks I've been using from the CD are using the 2.2.12
kernel. Once I get this error, the system completely hangs (I have to cold
boot). Looking on the CD, it seems to be installing slink. Anyone
seen/dealt with this problem before? All I've been able to find is that
NCR53c406a is for a SCSI card (of which I have none). BTW, this problem
hasn't occured with other distros, so hopefully it's something I can work
around. Thank you in advance!
Matt
