- Hi,
-
- I have problems installing the SLS 0.99 release ... I installed the base
- system only. Then it created a boot floppy. Now it refuses to boot from the
- floppy ... It starts the boot then the screen goes to 80x50 or something.
- It keeps going ... looks for and does not find any scsi devices (good - I do
- not have any ! ) ... checks out the memory (all 16MB of it) ... finds the
- floppy drives ... then :
-
- sock_init : initializing family 1 (AF_UNIX)
- sock_init : initializing family 2 (AF_INET)
- loopback device init
- wd8013
-
- and here it hangs ....
-
- My system is as follows:
- 386/40 DX w/64k cache
- 16MB RAM
- 1de 213MB Caviar HD
- 1.44MB (A:) and (1.2MB) B: floppy drives
- an 8 bit WD8003 card
- 9600 baud internal modem
- et4000 based card w/1MB
- logitech "first Mouse"
-
- I would really appreciate it if somewone would help me out here.
- I would eventually like to test out the tcp/ip stuff for LINUX too.
-
- I would suspect that the ethernet card is a problem but ....
- any suggestions?
- (I believe that this sort of a problem has occurred before .. but
- I cannot readily recall where and to who ...)
-
-
- Any suggestions appreciated.
- Thanks
