I'm trying to do a netinstall of Debian. I've tried both Sarge and Etch, without luck.
Immediately after it starts to load from the disk, I get the following error messages (working from memory):
insmod: fan.o. can't find module.
modproble: failed to load module
insmod: thermal.o can't find module
modprobe: failed to load module
And that's it. Have loaded many distros before, including Debian-based distros like Ubuntu, Kubunto, Mepix, Xandros and Knoppix. Have never seen this issue.
My basic specs:
motherboard ASUS k8v se
Athlon XP 64 3000+
I have a cdrom drive that won't work with certain os's, games, etc. Alway has problems finding or loading a module or something of this nature. Can you try a different drive?
I actually had tried a different drive. I booted it from my DVD-R drive, as well, but I experienced the same result.
I should not that I've loaded Debian before (must have been Sarge over a year ago) and didn't have this problem.
They must have changed something, given I'm seeing this on both Sarge and Etch and in both drives with correct Midsums (I never have a problem burning, anyway, in K3b).
