Subject: poweredge 6300 installation
Install disk yields black screen of death about the time it is unpacking the
kernel, I think.
RedHat appears to mostly work, but gives a similar black screen of death when
probing for (I think) DEC DEPCA ethernet card or something like that. So
possibly some autoprobe the Debian install-disk kernel does is hanging up the
machine.
This problem is on a DELL POWEREDGE 6300/400 someone gave me. It had a Dell
RAID controller but support for that looks impossible to get, so the RAID
controller was bypassed and the Seagate barracudas plugged directly into the
scsi bus.
I tried both the slink and potato debian install disks.
I'll probably have this box around for a couple of weeks before we ship it out,
so if anyone wants to point me to trial fixed Debian resc1440.bin disks during
that time, I'd be happy to try them.

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.
Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels. There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.
In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.
Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.
The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.
We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system. If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.
Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
