cant get icculus.org's serious sam installer to work
ok, I REALLY hope im not posting something thats been covered a meellion times, i did have a really poke around the place but could find any answers to this one...
I fire up the Serious Sam installer, all is good. I have the retail Euro Version CD in the drive, I most definitely have mounted it. It asks me where to put it and I tell it. then it tries to start installing and cant get anywhere, error message is thus: /dev/fd0: Input/output error mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write protected, mounting read-only /dev.fd0: Input/output error mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified and thats it. i've been trying all sorts of things to fix it and i cant. The kernel most definitely supports iso9660. and i dont what to do. |

Well, for some reason it is expecting something to be in your floppy drive. Isn't this a CD that you are using? Why does it need access to the floppy drive? (/dev/fd0) Post your /etc/fstab please. John |
i dunno, i dont even have a floppy in this system at all.
here's my fstab: /dev/hda1 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fat32 vfat rw,user,exec,noauto,uid=james 0 0 sorry its not all aligned, i blame jed and i cant get it aligned here |
