Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O] - but NTFS resize problem (see below)
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [E]
Reboot: [ ]
Comments/Problems:
The NTFS resize from d-i didn't work - no error message it just returned me to the partition screen with no changes after asking for the new size and warning me it would have to write.
I tried qtparted from a system resuce CD and that gave me an error message indicating that the NTFS partition was inconsistant.
Running chkdsk /f from windows fixed it - unfortunately I didn't try to resize after that from d-i but did it from qtparted.
I let d-i create the new linux partitions in the free space thus created.
I suspect that the NTFS partition error was also the reason d-i didn't work but an error message would have been nice
The install boot loader phase seemed to "lock up" at the 33% stage [Installing GRUB Boot Loader / Determining GRUB Boot Device]
The machine itself was NOT locked however, I could switch to a console and login with ssh if i tried doing a remote install in expert mode.
The problem was 100% reproducable - I rebooted several times and it always stopped at the same place.
Running with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 gave this at the end of my syslog :
Jan 30 16:30:18 debconf: --> SUBST grub-installer/with_other_os OS_LIST
Microsoft Windows XP dition familiale <--- This is French XP Home with an acute accent on edition...

Jan 30 16:30:18 debconf: <-- 0 question will be asked
Jan 30 16:30:18 debconf: --> GO
It appears the GO command to the installer UI never returned...
(I wasn' asked any questions here as I should have been...)
I finally completed the install manually by doing the grub install stuff manually, rebooting and running base-config which gave me a working system.
In spite of this problem I was pleased with the installer. It was all very easy to understand.
