I have no explanation for this.  Could you please try booting
with the two floppies.  May be the cdrom as hda is disturbing.


To your information, these are my actual tests:

I have now a LAN for testing at home and did the following
installation methods with success (= the installed FC2 can boot):

cdrom
image
rpms
ftp

In the first three cases FC2-rpm ist loaded with the simple
busybox-rpm.  With the inst-method ftp this is not possible.  But
busybox has another applet: ftpget.  I used it to get the rpms that
are nessecary to bootstrap FC2-rpm.  Will try to put this new version
on the net tomorrow (21.09.2004) evening.

Please tell me, which network-card is in your notebook, because this
must be configured in the booting kernel or as module.


About booting with slinky-cdrom:

Booting from cdrom as you tested it after makeiso.sh cannot work at
all now.  The contents of rule_iso is based on kernel 2.4 and these
modules don't work with the booting kernel 2.6.8.1.



Thank you for testing.

- Franz
