I can get a network install to work and I'm currently resorting to pulling apart the initrd.img on CD#1. What I see happening is: install gets as far as "choose method of installation" and I select CD-ROM and it dies. Checking the logs with Alt-F3 I can see that it's choking on loading the pcmcia_core, ds and yenta_socket modules. So, I've rebuilt the kernel for 2.4.20-13.9BOOT and configured it to inlude the PCMCIA stuff in the kernel (ie not as modules), but I still get the same error! So, I'm assuming it's something to do with the anaconda "loader" program trying to insert the modules. My last desperate hope is to pull apart the modules.cgz (cpio archive in initrd.img from CD#1) and put the appropriately rebuilt modules in there. If that doesn't work then I'm stymied.
