jaraeez Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me on this... I am trying to install Mandriva 2006 DVD issue onto a laptop I have. The laptop doesnt have any DVD drives so I decided to try a network install (plus I have no blank cdrs) OK so I have copied the entire DVD to a folder on the FTP server (on DMZ using Serv-U on a WinXP box IP 192.168.0.2) I then found a cdrw which I promptly installed the boot.iso onto. So my problem is this. The laptop connects to the FTP server no problem but just before it loads the GUI on the laptop I see an error Version file missing it then goes into partioning which I do. It then comes back with an error stating that INTERNAL ERROR: no kernel available I looked on the FTP server for any logs which may help Connected to 192.168.x.x (Local address 192.168.0.2) [5] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:53 - (000106) User XXXXX logged in [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:53 - (000106) Sending file f:\ftp\misc\install\stage2\version [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:53 - (000106) Sent file f:\ftp\misc\install\stage2\version successfully (1.95 kB/sec - 48 Bytes) [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:53 - (000106) Sending file f:\ftp\misc\install\stage2\version [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:53 - (000106) Sent file f:\ftp\misc\install\stage2\version successfully (5.86 kB/sec - 48 Bytes) [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:59 - (000106) Sending file f:\ftp\misc\version [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:13:59 - (000106) Sent file f:\ftp\misc\version successfully (9.77 kB/sec - 60 Bytes) [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:14:19 - (000106) Sending file f:\ftp\misc\release-notes.txt [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:14:19 - (000106) Sent file f:\ftp\misc\release-notes.txt successfully (2199 kB/sec - 24774 Bytes) [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:15:26 - (000106) Sending file f:\ftp\misc\media\media_info\hdlists [3] Wed 11Jan06 13:15:26 - (000106) Sent file f:\ftp\misc\media\media_info\hdlists successfully (60.4 kB/sec - 371 Bytes) This is at the end of the log.. Any light on this would be greatly appreciated... TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchancock Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Sounds like maybe the Install routine is searching for a "version" file that it is not finding. This could be because it is using an absolute path to the file instead of a relative one. Don't ask me how to fix it, I don't know. But it is something to think about anyway...
