This sounds like the problem I'm having upgrading my older machine from 5.2 to 6.3. After dying several times it will no longer read the CD-ROM even thought the sbpcd modules are loaded. I'm now trying to d o the install via plip and am having trouble setting up the parallel port
From dmesg I get the following:
Hi everyone,
Ok I tried with the 6.3 boot disk and the modules disk to install via plip interface to my laptop. Contrary to the 6.4 installation 6.3 asks for the plip parameters and the configuration which I enter as follows
io=0x378 irq=7 ifconfig plip0 192.168.217.3 pointopoint 192.168.217.2 netmask 255.255.255.255 up
but then when I want to do the installation via NFS it say no network modules loaded. Also when I ping the laptop from the desktop nope it does not exists.
Is there any other way I should try to install it (ie. with floopies maybe)

you should have created a modules floppy too and -

the choice of the installation medium - inserted the necessary module(s)
Not necesarry since I have the original package which already has the two ploppies boot and modules
into the kernel (actually PLIP support and/or support for your interface card).
That is the problem point what ever I do nothing happens. I choose plip and I expect the plip config parameters box to appear but nothing happens.
But possibly you will fail. Yeap I do on the otherhand is there a way to over come
