The installer seems to be doing the following: - extract paride - insmod paride - rmmod paride - extract aten - insmod aten (fails) - insmod paride - insmod aten - rmmod aten paride (repeat for bpck, etc) - extract pcd - insmod pcd (fails) It _should_ do the following instead: - extract paride - insmod paride - extract aten - insmod aten - extract bpck - insmod bpck (repeat for other protocols) - extract pcd - insmod pcd I.e. it should load _all_ of the modules, with paride first and pcd last.
(and actually this is with qa1229.0, not beta1)
Assigning to a developer.
Found the problem: paride.o is not in drivers.img's modules.cgz. :-/ paride.o needs to be in that, and also a line in modules.dep that says: paride: parport_pc With those changes, installing from Backpack CD-ROM succeeds.
This is still broken in beta 2. There must be something going wrong with dependency resolution for driver disks. pcd.o is there, but paride.o (which is uses symbols from) just isn't.
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
We weren't looping over the dependency resolution when building disks. This should be fixed now, and I've sent twaugh a driver disk to try w/ beta 2.
