Success installing Lenny on a ES45 (was Re: latest debian testing on alpha installer?)

[Adrian Zaugg <adi@ente.limmat.ch>]

Dear all

Just quickly wanted to say I managed to install Debian Lenny on my HP 
AlphaServer ES45. I plugged a graphics card in and the installation went 
through just with one problem: Using BSD disk labels there is no FD 
partition type for linux raid autodetect. The installer refuses to set 
up a software raid configuration - but that's certainly known...

The failed installation attempt mentioned below was over a serial cable, 
I haven't tried it again, so I don't know, what the mistake was.

Regards, Adrian.
