We need more information about this, I really believe that he is seeing the bug msw and I are working on where /mnt/proc cannot be mounted during the bootloader installation. I find it peculiar that he mentions what logging on other VC's said, but fails to say anything at all about the diagnostic printed by the installer, without this critical piece of information I can't determine if the bug is the same. FWIW, I noticed this morning on a sparc that "silo -r /mnt" failed with "/dev/hda4: device or resource busy", but "chroot /mnt ; silo " worked perfectly. assigned to msw fixed. |
Hello, Please note that the installation of the boot loader fails. Reviewing the virtual console that displays output during the install indicated that insmod is failing. Executing insmod /modules/loop.o returned an error message complaining about the kernel being a different version than the module. I don't know enough about the boot process to work around this. However, I can boot the system from the install floppy by executing `linux root=/dev/sda1 noinitrd`.
