Floatin Point Exception when trying to install Debian Etch (r2)
hey all,
I'm trying to install Debian Etch to get rid of Fedora. However, the
installation fails and I failed to find a workaround myself. The problem
is that the installation starts, but after I choose my language and
keyboard it starts to scan my computer. The progress bar keeps going
from 0 to 93% and then goes away and then again and again (infinite).
However, I see a line appear in between that says: Floating Point
Exception (sounds serious if you ask me). I'm trying to read the .iso
from my disk. Information about the setup:
Related snipper from grub.conf (menu.lst):

Could anyone please help me? I don't want to stay with Fedora forever......

P.S. I cannot insert a real bugreport since I need to use a program from
debian ;)
