Installation Process Just Hangs

Tue Feb 6 18:04:46 UTC 2007

Mine also hung. I figured it out that it doesn't install in SATA HDDs.

Will Ubuntu ever work in SATA HDDs?

I'm intrigued - why would you want to turn this off ?

I do have a chainloader entry in the grub menu but, when I select it
it actually displays the last few lines you wrote above and goes right
back into the grub menu ;-).

Thanks for your thoughts -- I'll have to play with it in a few days
when I have time (provided I have the discipline to stay away from the
computer ;-).

Eric.

If my memory is right you can view the cd from windows.
the install icon will be on the ubuntu screen and clicking it will give
the 
impression of snstalling. it was a while ago i did this though. i may
well 
be wrong.

The shell Zsh acts this way, and has much more powerful and customizable
(though I don't think this can be customized) completion behavior.

Try it:

sudo apt-get install zsh

Man, I feel your pain. We dialuppers are a dying, much
abused breed :(

This is how I had to do it. Some of the details are
hazy but this gives a flavo(u)r.

Don't use kppp. IIRC it doesn't ask for a passwd; then
you get "access denied". Use pppconfig. 

You might have to use a bootCD. I forget why that was
necessary. Think it was because the bootCD knew more
about the drivers. lsmod is your friend. Oh, and
obviously, if pppconfig is not in your distro you'll
have to connect with the bootCD to get the tarball or
whatever package you like.

Make sure you choose DNS server option. pppconfig is
easy to configure and has a single page, forget the
option, which displays and allows user to edit name,
phone number, passwd etc. Once you connect(if you
connect) check the logs to find out the ip numbers
that were involved. pppconfig writes a bunch of files
to /etc/ppp(and /etc/resolv,I think), cat those to
your favo(u)rite storage medium. 

Now you got plenty info. Install pppconfig, run the
program and check what it does against what it did do.

Maxim

Thanks for your reply. If i will get in touch with LVM i will try this.
Unfortenatly my LVM VG crashed because of incompatibilities with my
USB-Drive and the USB-Onboard-Controller.

So i'm currently set up the machine again without using LVM. :(

Bye for now!

Depends what kind of errors you get!

There are 2 main areas to look for :

1) Did you properly open NAT redirections in your firewall (if your host

is not directly on the internet, but behind a router)? Read this : 
http://freenetproject.org/faq.html#firewall

2) Did you properly select at least 3 known hosts to connect to as a 
startup? Read the Important note for first time users at : 
http://freenetproject.org/download.html

3) Java. What Java VM are you using? I recommend the sun-java5-* VM.

Your solution probably lies within the answer to one of these 3
questions.

Gilles.

Dear All,
I am "desperately" trying to generate a ram drive image for use with a
kernel that I've just compiled.
But mkinitramfs always insists in returning this message :

oliveiros at Machon2:~$ sudo mkinitramfs -o
/boot/initrd-2.6.11-krg-root.img
2.6.11-krg-root
W: kernerl 2.6.11-krg-root too old for initramfs on i386
W: not generating requested initramfs for kernel 2.6.11-krg-root

My ubuntu version is 6.06 LTS

Can anybody give me a clue to what I might be doing wrong?

Any help deeply appreciated

Many thanks in advance

Kind Regards,
Oliveiros
