) Guys,
)
) I'm trying to install RedHat 6.0 on an oldish HP Vectra. Works great,
) except when I try to install LILO, or create a bootdisk.
)
) The friendly blue install screen just says, "An error occured during step
) 'Install bootloader' of the install" (same for create bootdisk).
)
) The messages in Alt-F3 say:
)
) * installed kernel version 2.2.5-15
) * installed kernel version 2.2.5-15
) * running: /bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/loop.o
) * insmod failed!
)
) Any idea what to do?
)
What kernel is on the boot disk ?? I ran into problems with SCSI modules
a few weeks ago and it turned out the the boot disk had 2.2.5-4BOOT on
it while the modules were for 2.2.5-15BOOT. These somehow, seem to have
been downloaded with the original RH 6.0 mirror to ftp.esat.net instead
of the proper RH boot disks.
Maybe you're experiencing a similar problem?
If you have a fully installed RH 6.0 box, you could ftp the module off
that ? (or you should have a copy of it somewhere on ftp.heanet.ie :)
) Cheers,
) Dave
