D-I Problems

[John E Clymer <jclymer@kaco.net>]

I just got around to installing a new (to me) 164SX motherboard.  I 
download the latest built ISO and Net Boot images for alpha.  I have the 
following gripes:

* The installer tries to autoformat as ext3 partitions, but no ext3 
module is available.  I believe this has to do with ext3 compilation 
problems reported previously on this list.

* The installer does not contain the aic78xx module.  The 164SX board 
supports Adaptec 2940 based boards in SRM, but the D-I does not come 
with a module for the aic78xx controller.

Other than that, things installed very nicely.  The best thing about 
debian, is once the installer is started, it is about the same on all 
supported platforms.

Thanks
