Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] r8169 network driver fails to load in DL 1.2.15

[Geir I. <gei...@gm...>]

Thank you for your response.

Is this the version I should test:
http://devil-linux.linjection.org/devel/testing/devil-linux-1.3.6-2008-08-05-i586.tar.bz2
?

I did not find a SMP release of DL 1.3 but that is probably not
important right now.

Installing the 1.3.6 release on a usb stick with the included
install-on-usb script gives the same problems as the 1.5.12 release
(run on a ubuntu hardy machine) :

1) selecting lilo as the bootloader, the script fails:

Do you want to edit the lilo menu file  (y/n) n
cp: cannot stat `/boot/boot.b': No such file or directory
Install failed!
syncing and unmounting (this could take a while)

2) selecting syslinux as bootloader, the script fails:

Installing syslinux MBR
0+1 records in
0+1 records out
404 bytes (404 B) copied, 0.00895628 s, 45.1 kB/s
installing SysLinux boot sector
umount: /tmp/syslinux.mnt.4674.0: device is busy
umount: /tmp/syslinux.mnt.4674.0: device is busy
Install failed!
syncing and unmounting (this could take a while)

Selecting grub (no serial), the script fails (work ok on the 1.2.15
release) with:

Configuring Grub boot sector and menu...
Do you want to edit the grub menu file  (y/n) n
Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
./install-on-usb: line 119:  5069 Segmentation fault      $grub_shell
--batch --device-map=$device_map  > /dev/null <<-EOF
root $root_drive
setup $force_lba $install_drive
quit
EOF

Should we move to the develop mailinglist ?
