Hello all,

While attempting an auto or manual install, I seem to get this error just after formatting the hard drive

modprobe error:
can't locate module: block-major-3

line 608 / 1000000 syntax error operand expected error token is "/ 1000000"

I did find on the cd looking for anything block-major, but I didn't have any success. Can anyone tell me why i'm getting this error, and what to do about it?

Thank you,
Mike

After the install script fails, if I reexecute KnoppMyth-Setup, I can get the install to complete, all seems well. However after I reboot I get a kernel panic when the system tries to modprobe block-major-3...

block-major-3 ... hmmm

thanks again,
mike

ok so, /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt was a little helpful, it's IDE... hmm so ahh, yahh......

... don't install knoppmyth on a SLAVE or SECONDARY IDE channel. For me it only seems to work if it's master on the primary channel... funny (-;

yes autoinstall will only install on primary master ide drive. It will not install on a slave or raid or scsi, or anything other than primary master.
