the problem with the "failed to insert 3c503 module" has been solved
---**stubborn user** caused the problem
(case of doing too many things at the same time - I'm doing the tests at the
office since I don't have a test machine to use at home).
Is this a good enough excuse?
I am now able to load the NIC driver.
BUT...
I'm stuck at "Running anaconda - please wait...".
Last line in vt3 says "looking for USB mouse".
I definitely don't have a USB mouse in my 486 machine.
Last two lines in vt4 says
<4>Unable to identify CD_ROM format.
<4>VFS: Cant find ext2 filesystem on dev loop(7,0).
After 30mins.
vt1 displays Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 09:02
Do I need to manually create ext2fs using vt2?
What do I need to do?
Please help.
TIA,
luie
