Output of lspci and lspci -n:
Base System Installation Checklist: E
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:
Installer automatically installs a K7-Kernel which does not boot on the T23 (uncompressing Linux message ok, but that's the last message). For a novice, the debian installation just fails. Why can't the user choose among different kernels to be installed? In this case, only a expert installation suceeded, but all the selections had to be redone.
Cheers
René
