Hmm this is my first bug-report. Shall be as elaborate as possible. RedHat 6.1 installation on a laptop via a Turbo LapLink cable. On copying the bootnet.img to a floppy and connecting the laptop to a RedHat 5.2 machine I tried to install via FTP. Everything was setup ok because I have installed RedHat 6.0 in the same manner and that worked ok. On booting with the bootnet.img he started the installation. Everything was going fine until he asked where to get the source. I selected FTP install and searched in the device list for the appropriate driver. I found it as "Parallel Link Internet Protocol", plip for short. I selected it to use that. He asked what parameters I had to give, I filled in the lpt1 device as registred in the NET3-4-HOWTO : io=0x378 irq=7 I said Ok. He suddenly came with the error : /tmp/plip.o unresolved symbol r64d something He then started again to ask which way to get the source : NFS/FTP/HTTP When tried again he gave the same error. Things tried to solve it: Took another CD and used it's bootnet.img > same error Took blank floppy, reformated and checked it > same error Downloaded a new bootnet.img for RH 6.1 > same error LapLink cable is my only option to install redhat 6.1 and now it seems not to work with bootnet.img. If a solution is present or if not could you e-mail it to me a.s.a.p. It is vital for me to get this installed. e-mail : jleunen.nl
Plip was not functioning during the 6.1 release, so that would explain your problems. We are hopefully going to get the issues resolved and have it functioning again in the next release.
