Maybe someone can kend me a hand? Ok, here is what I have been doing. My host system is ubuntu 8.04, x86-64 system. I installed the qemu package with apt-get, apparently version 0.9.1. Created a disk with 'qemu-img create disk_hda 1G'. Downloaded the Debian Mips image from http://www.nongnu.org/qemu/mpis-test-0.2.tar.gz, untarred into the directory where disk_hda is. Edited the run-qemu script according to the page mentioned above, and started it. The system boots (I get a warning that it could not load a MIPS bios which I ingored) and the debian installer starts. I select English as language, select a country, the hardware detection runs, I enter a hostname and a domain name, I enter the download mirror manually (mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca, directory /debian/, no proxy), get the (expected) warning about 'No kernel modules were found', which I also ignore, and the installer starts downloading. Downloading succeeds up to ~40% total, then downloading a file failes: libdevmapper1.02.1-udeb and the installation cannot not continue. I've tried other mirrors as well, but with the same results. Any ideas how to proceed? -- Thanks, Thomas
