Hi All, I'm trying to install Debian on some Dell 1750's and really need some guidance. As these machines ship with Fusion MPT scsi host adapters I replaced the kernel on the rescue floppy (none of the rescue kernel images recognised the MTP adapter) with the latest stable kernel (2.4.22) with MPT support compiled in. I reach the 'Install Kernel and Driver Modules' stage and it tells me it can use the CDROM to load the installable packages. I hit OK, it then tells me it can't load the rescue disk from the floppy. I've re-inserted the rescue disk after it wanted the ram disk image guessing that it would need it as the kernel to install. I use Alt-f2 to get a console up and tailed /var/log/messages, it's complaining about Mounting /dev/loop0 on /floppy failed: No such device I ensured the kernel I built had loop device compiled in as per the docs. I look at the contents of /dev and /dev/loop0 is there as is /floppy.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated enormously. Thanks, James Williamson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
