So, reading from usb is not the issue?
Sure sounds like it's not.
is it worth tracking meanwhile obsoleted images? or should i better get
new/current images?
Perhaps it is using the wrong usb driver, or
wrongly configuring it. Could you look at the boot messages before it
asks you to hit enter, and compare them to the boot messages on the
working system? In particular the ones about usb-ohci or usb-uhci, and
anything else usb releasted.
do you know any other way than typing it manually from screen? things like
console/serial log/copy at this stage? some lot work...
ok, so bootfloppy says to usb related things (and some others of some
importance, imho): [i replaced some unimportant message parts with "[..]","..."
and the like, and added some comments, you'll recognice easily. Output now
nearly as it shows up on console:
--->start console message<---

Insert the root floppy or plug in a USB storage device. Press Enter when ready,
or type a
command:
--->end console message<---
now i plug in usb device:
--->start console message<---
new USB device 00:14.0-1, assingned address 2
...SCSI emulation...
...<messages already posted about PRIVHEAS errors>
unable to read partition table
--->end console message<---
so now i hit Enter as requested, d-i starts reading from usb with
already posted result.
ok, now what knoppix 3.3 cd (as reference system) tells about usb:
--->start console message<---
[..]
...usbdevfs
...hub

thisone may come from knoppix autodect, as there is no usb device plugged in yet:
--->start console message<---
usbdevfs: remount parameter error
--->end console message<---
now plugging usb device dmesg says:
--->start console message<---

so, to me it looks quite the same. forgive me not testing my second pc
on that, but that's the one im writing now this mail...
my native debian system on this laptop instead of knoppix tells me about
usb-ohci membase/IRQ assignment too, thoug it later also has msg on uhci
High bandwith mode. plugging device gives same usb device path/address
and scsi emulatin message as above.
i'll try to dd hdimage t a partition instead of whole device to see, if
some errors are solved then. and i'll go get more recent images of
floppy/netinst, if you don't mind. reports later.
btw: any idea on #225654 yet?
