The boot images from the 6.0 CD work on my Dell OptiPlex GXpro with 2940U SCSI controller. I just downloaded the updated boot images, and now it can't find my hard disk. Specifically, I was using the bootnet image.
Did you boot with "linux supp"?
No, I did not specify "supp". Was I supposed to? The original boot disks work fine without "supp".
Yes, you need to specify 'linux supp'; from the annoucement: -- Three disks are needed for Intel based computers: "boot.img" or "bootnet.img", "supp.img", and "modules.img". Choose "boot.img" for local installs (CD-Rom, hard drive) or "bootnet.img" for network installs (NFS, FTP, HTTP). Copy the three images to 1.44 MB floopy disks using: dd if=file.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=72k under Linux or "rawrite.exe" under DOS or Windows. After preparing the disk images, insert the appropriate boot disk and boot the computer. At the boot prompt type "linux supp" and press Enter. This tells the installer to load changes from the supplemental and modules disks. The installer will prompt the user to insert the supplemental disk and modules disk during the installation process. -- Alternatively, you can update the modules on your install image with the ones from supp.img & modules.img, however, since you're installing from CD, that's probably not an option. new CD.
