Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: Etch i386 - Thursday, October 27th 2005

Date: Thursday, October 27th 2005
Method: Network Install disk, never selected a mirror... downloaded
disk from ??cant quite remember but think it was in LA or SoCal...

Processor:athlon64 3200
Memory: 1 GB
Root Device: ide... /dev/hda
Root Size/partition table: 120 gig disk, used Desktop System
Output of lspci and lspci -n: too late... rebooted after system
rendered unusable

Comments/Problems:
Installation of initrd failed... red screen... I go back, repartition,
try again... the installer comes back with an option of what kernel to
install. I try both, neither work.
Note: I had previously installed Sarge on this computer with the
pre-Official release sarge net install disk with the newer debian
installer. The current Sarge net-install disk will not install because
of the lack of support for forcedeth on nForce3.
Am currently jigdo'ing the fsn-unofficial etch dvd to see if that will
work.
