*** Bug 82388 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This also happened on my machine when I did a *clean* install of Phoebe2, and attempted to create the boot diskette with previously used diskettes (i.e. not "brand-new" media). I was able to create the boot diskette with these very same diskette(s) under Phoebe 1. N.B. my "floppy" is actually an LS-120 superdisk drive attached as Primary Slave, which mounts as /dev/hdb. No problems accessing diskettes in Gnome, and under KDE I simply have to change the properties of the desktop "floppy" icon to point to the proper device instead of /dev/fd0 (the default). *** Bug 82716 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 81595 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Me too. Identical scenario. Tried 3 floppies including one previously unused. Fixed with mkbootdisk-1.5.0 and newer kernel |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: During Phobbe Beta 2 install, I selected to make a boot diskette. At the end, it indicated my boot diskette was not valid, so I should use another. This diskette was the one that was successfully used with Phoebe Beta 1. I inserted another fresh diskette which I knew to be good, and the same thing happened. I then went on without making a boot diskette. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fresh Install of Phoebe Beta 2 2.Select to make a boot diskette 3.Insert diskette and click on button to start diskette write Actual Results: Installer claimed diskette was not valid Expected Results: Diskette should have been written and install resumed.
