Re: [Rule-list] Network install not working

[Gordon Buzowetsky]

Hi Glen....not necessarily your cdrom....could even be bad ram.....I've 
done a few slinky installs with just about exactly the same 
setup.....Read thru March's archives; near the end; we finally got the 
thing to work real good.   Check the threads with 'sbpcd', and 'insmod 
anyone' that was mostly me and Micheal.....a lot of playing around but 
Micheal (Devon) got the issue straightened out....problem was module 
loading for the cdrom....

Luck...G
