Package: boot-floppies Version: 03.0.21 Flavor: idepci / bf4 / (haven't tried any others) Severity: important Tags: woody
Problem report attached as Dbg_log.tgz
When attempting a woody install using boot floppies on a clean system
(multiple systems, details follow) the install fails during the base system
install with and error of
'Can't download PPOECONF'
This error has been recreated on 2 separate systems, while using a CD
(unofficial woody 02/07/02) or a network (internet from debian.org) install.
Both systems are booting from actual floppies, 1.44MB images either idepci
of bf4 (haven't tried any others) downloaded from
/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/3.0.21-2002-03-19/images-1.44/idepci
Installs used basic defaults (English-US, QWERTY KB, DHCP configured
network, PCMCIA defaults (on the laptop), nothing special, no extra
modules, disks partitioned as one large / and a swap)
IIRC it failed on the laptop before I even tried to get the network running
(loading PCMCIA drivers. I then tried loading the PCMCIA drivers and
getting the network up (successful) and tried a network install. Still
'Can't D/L PPPOECONF'
I tried both idepci and bf4 on the laptop, both failed when trying to
install from the CD, and idepci fails on a network install (didn't get the
network up with bf4).
I only tried the idepci on the P90 desktop, same failure.
