RE: Debian Installer - Problems Partitioning
When the error pops up on the screen, and I read terminal 4, it has:
Jun 1 02:19:16 (none) user.notice hw-detect: Error loading 'DAC960'
All the preceding messages are syslog.warn messages referring to klogd:
Then I press "Continue"...and quickly switch consoles and pause the
screen. I will type just the text of the DEBUG: messages...
...[not sure how many messages slipped thru before I could pause screen]

Next I got some daemon.info messages that look like they are starting or
scheduling processes.
HTH..thanks!

Knowing that your drives are on a DAC960 controller, this is a problem.

This confirms that, without the DAC960 driver correctly loaded, d-i was
not able to find any disks that you could partition.
Can you send the output from terminal 4 (ALT-F4) within the installer,
immediately after the error about the module loading?
