I am attempting to install Linux 6.2 on a Sun Sparc 5.
I downloaded the CD images and made the cd's. Here
is what i get when I go to install. I boot from the
cd - installation comes up - I tell it to
automatically partition the drives - put in the user
name and password - it goes to format the drives -
gets to the file system drive and crashes. I get -
error mounting sdb1. Invalid argument. then another
window that says - exception occurred - and then a
whole bunch of gibberish. So I tried it again and
again - I also get this message - Install exited
abnormally - received signal 4 - sending termination
signals - and the machine shuts down. I'm looking for
someone who may have had a similar experience and know
what to do about it. I have had solaris 2.5.1
installed on the machine and it ran so the machine is
good. Any suggestions or comments would be helpful.
I am attempting to make this a web/ftp server so any
suggestions in that department would be nice as well.
Thanks in advance.
Matt
