[debian-mips] Obscure error: Value too large for defined data type
hello,
I have just entered the mailing list, because I want to install Debian on an
Indy. The architecture is IP22.
The Indy should be diskless, therefor I have done the following:
- On an other SilGraphics-O2 I have unpacked the base2_2.2.tgz under /tftpboot.
(this machine should provide the root filesystem)
- Copied the kernel vmlinux-2.4.3 from flo to /tftpboot/boot/
- sets up a the bootp-server
The base is from ftp.uni-mainz.de and the kernel is from ftp.rfc822.org. Both
links are from www.debian.org/ports/mips
- The base-system is not automatically configured yet, but after editing
fstab, hostname and resolv.conf it seems to work fine. - how can I auto-
matically do it? dpkg-reconfigure base-config does not work?!
-----
Now is the problem, that during booting I got the following message:
run-parts: failed to open directory /etc/rc.boot: Value too large for defined
datatype.
And dselect stops "select" with the same message:
dselect: cannot scan updates directory '/var/lib/dpkg/updates': Value too large
for defined datatype
Both directories are empty and if I touch a hello-file, both (run-parts and
dselect) complain with another message:
: Invalid argument
instead of ": Value too ...".
Can anyone give me a hint?
Thanks
Maik
