Comments/Problems:
The installer does not seem to be able to partition the drives in this
system.
Using the RC1 installer, I first had to format the drives by installing
solaris.
I couldn't set up software raid because it complained the module was not
loaded.
However, debian did install. I tried the same procedure on a second set
of drives, and it failed. The RC1 installer was unable to modify the
partition table. No matter what line I chose, it would move on to a
screen complaining that I hadn't configured a root partition.
The drive detection failing on 20040902 is a known issue, I believe, but
some people seem to have gotten RC1 working on sparc systems.

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.
