[parisc-linux] LibC errors on C180 install

Interesting - C180, 4G FWSCSI.5, Plextor CD SESCSI.5, 0.93 ISO. On install
I had a segfault in the base-config, which bombed the rest of the install.
Manually added FTP, pulled the latest kernel, reboot and now I can get APT
etc to run, but every time it tries to update libc6 I get an error -
"unable to stat './usr/lib/gconv/CP1251.so' (which I was about to install
): Value too large for defined data type", then libc6 fails to install.

At first I thought the crashing might be FWSCSI related, so I added the
palo parameter (burst:3) to it; somewhere between that and the -pa20
kernel I've cured the segfaults. Is there something I missed in the list
archives about this? Or, since this is a brand-new install, should I just
rerun the install from scratch with some different selection?
