Comments/Problems:

expert install in German

- I have on WD Raptor 74GB each on the first two SATA channels of the
boards silicon image controller. On the first try the kernel printed
an "ata2 is slow to respond" message and timed out the second channel
after a 30 sec. Removing and re-inserting the sata_sil module did not
change the outcome of the probe. (The machine has never exhibited a
problem with the disks under previous Debian / Ubuntu installs.)
Fearing the disk had died I tried to boot the Ubuntu kernel on it - no
problem. On the next reboot it was fine.

- first boot had my real nic (Broadcom gigabit) as eth0, someting else
(ethernet-over-firewire maybe?) as eth1, on second boot the order was
reversed. It's a known problem, I gather. If at all possible exotic
interfaces should always come last.

- DHCP timed out twice before succeeding. (both boots, strange)

- I let the installer wipe the second disk (guided partitioning, LVM,
seperate home). This gave me an error about how notifying the kernel
about the partition changes failed. Despite its own warning that an
immediate reboot was required the installer tried to init the
partitions and failed horribly. At this point I decided to abort the
install.

If these are not all known issues I can try again tomorrow and get some logs.

My slight misgivings about d-i being less flexible/adaptable than
boot-floppies remain, but a 4 year old bug isn't the place.

Thanks,
