INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, yesterday
uname -a: <The result of running uname -a on a shell prompt> (sorry, installation did not work)
Date: yesterday
Method: How did you install? What did you boot off? If network
install, from where? Proxied?
I used
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
and tried to boot over network
Machine: Toshiba Portege 300CT
Processor: 166 MHz
Memory: 64MB
Root Device: Toshiba IDE 6GB
Root Size/partition table: Feel free to paste the full partition
table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where.
(sorry, the system no longer exists)
Output of lspci and lspci -n:
(sorry, the installation did not succeed)
Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [E]
My PCMCIA 3Com 3CXSH572BT card was not correctly configured. It did,
however, work when I later tried the same installation with the same
PCMCIA card and even the same hard disk on a Thinkpad X20. I tried both
the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. I rather think it is a Debian problem, because
it worked nicely with SuSE 9.0.
Config network: [E]
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [O]
Install boot loader: [O]
Reboot: [O]
Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Installation failed.
The base system was installed. However, of course no further installation
could be done, because network wasn't working. There should be a simple
way to stop the installer after initial reboot and start it again at a
later point in time (when one has corrected the network configuration
problem, for example).
Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
