Comments/Problems:
The installation freezes at the point where it tries to configure the
network using DHCP. DHCP is working, i tested it. It will also fail if i
manually enter in an IP address (such as 192.168.0.100). Tried booting in
expert26 and only loading the drivers for the onboard nforce nic. I also
have an intel pro 100 S nic, the installation sometimes freezes as well if
i try to use this NIC...sometimes it goes through the process of trying to
get a DHCP address and fails. if i select noapic nolapic it seems to work a
little better, in that the install wont freeze until after the 2nd or 3rd
dhcp attempt.
Something new.... install froze after i left it sitting idle for a little
while. Froze at the screen asking me what modiles to load for detecting
hardware.

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.
