Hi all
Wanted to update my tp240 to dsl 4.4.8, as it was running smoothly on 3.3. I do not have a floppy anymore, bootfrom usb = nogo and no internal CD-rom.
so hd out of tp240, in an other box, boot live cd and selecht hd install, multiuser, grub. upon reboot, I get a number of these errors:

Quote

pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci/00/07.0
lspci: Unable to read the standard configuration space header of devices 0000:00:07.0

subsequently, I cannot setup X with xsetup.sh, if I nevertheless startx I get a garbled screen.
How can I over come this?
greets chris

I have run many versions of DSL 4.x on a tp240.
But never tried a traditional hard install using grub hosted on another machine. I have always used a boot floppy and usb pendrive.

Was the tp240 disk drive the only hard disk in the host machine?
If not your grub menu.lst may have an incorrect disk entry.
