I tried to do an "expert" install. After loading IDE modules, I was asked if I had a driver disk. When I said no, the installer terminated abnormally and I had to reboot. This computer has no IDE devices; it is all SCSI (and worked when I didn't say expert).
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Florence Gold release
Please try this with Fisher.
Sorry, I didn't get a chance to try this until now. This still happens with beta3. I am asked if I have a driver disk, and as soon as I say no, I get "installer terminated abnormally". I don't get any other kind of debugging info (so I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do to help figure this one out).
I absolutely cannot reproduce this. How are you booting this machine, and what kind of hardware do you have? What's the last thing you see on tty3?
At the point the main screen asks "Do you have a driver disk?", the last line on tty3 says "no pcic controller found". Then when I say "No" on tty1, the only other thing printed on tty3 is "no install methods have the required devices!" Looking at the kernel messages, it appears that the SCSI system has been loaded but not the device specific module. IIRC expert mode would prompt for which module(s) to load after asking for a driver disk.

I meant to mention that I do get this still with Wolverine.
This is fixed internally. Someone else mentioned that it's a SCSI CDROM which causes this problem, which led to a quick fix.
