Installation issue with 1.3.0 installer

Postby Vineus » Sat Sep 16, 2006 5:57 pm

Hi !

I really enjoyed the demo of Darwinia, si I bougt it.

The installation processu begins normally, and at a certain time, I get this message :

"Please insert Darwinia CD.
Choose Yes to retry, No to cancel"

When I click "Yes", the pop up appears again, the cdrom is still unmounted. So I tried to mount manually the cdrom, same problem.

That's my output :

Code: Select all

vineus@bloutchparadise:~/dl> ./darwinia-full-1.3.0.sh                                                                                               [2006-09-16 18:45:53]
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

At this time, the pop up appears, so when I click "Yes", I get:

Code: Select all

mount: special device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 does not exist
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
loki_setup: Mounted device /dev/cdrom

if on another term I mount the cd :

Code: Select all

vineus@bloutchparadise:~> mount /dev/cdrom                                                                                                           [2006-09-16 18:50:31]
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
vineus@bloutchparadise:~> ls /mnt/cdrom                                                                                                             [2006-09-16 18:50:42]
AUTORUN.INF  Setup.exe  Setup.ini  data1.cab  data1.hdr  data2.cab  data3.cab  data4.cab  data5.cab  data6.cab  ikernel.ex_  layout.bin  setup.inx

And reclick "Yes", I have the same problem (same mount message on the darwinia-full script and same pop up)

I saw another message with pretty the same issue, and the problem was the cdrom fs format, so here is my fstab :

Code: Select all

vineus@bloutchparadise:~> cat /etc/fstab                                                                                                            [2006-09-16 18:45:44]

I have a gentoo bx, kernel 2.6.15-r1

Any ideas ? I tried to fix this on installation scripts, but they are no references to cdrom on the scripts. I tried to install with the non graphical interface to.

Thank you a lot for your help

Maybe it is the multiple definitions for cdrom in your /etc/fstab that is confusing it.

Please can you try it again without the /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 line?

Thanks

I found the solution in another topic :

http://forums.introversion.co.uk/darwin ... inux+mount

I didn't search well before posting, shame on me.

It seems it comes from the cd which is not pacckaged the same way in every countries
