Package: installation-reports The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and, according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the BTS so it will not be lost. ----- Forwarded message from "K. Griffis" <kevin@kgriffis.dyndns.org> ----- From: "K.

Griffis" <kevin@kgriffis.dyndns.org>, 228271@bugs.debian.org Package: installation-reports Version: beta2 INSTALL REPORT Debian-installer-version: "Sarge" Beta 2 100MB image from Debian website (sarge-i386-netinst.iso) uname -a: n/a Date: 1/17/2004 Method: Installed using "net" boot option from CD-ROM; attempting a "stable" install Machine: Hand-built AMD-based machine Processor: AMD Duron 950 Memory: 128MB Root Device: Maxtor 91190D7 IDE drive, 11901MB Root Size/partition table: n/a Output of lspci: n/a Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [0] Configure network HW: [0] Config network: [0] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [E] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: I am having problems getting the stable distro to install. My network card is detected and works fine (gets a lease from DHCP, etc.). I can select a Debian mirror with no problem. I also proceed to select "stable" for distribution type; however, I get an error saying that the installer can't get installation files from the mirror. However, if I select "testing" or "unstable" the installer proceeds to the disk partitioning phase without a problem. It would appear that "stable" installation has been disabled in the Beta 2 installer. Is this the case, or is there an actual bug involved? Otherwise, the Beta 2 installer is *perfect* on my machine. You guys are doing a *fantastic* job. Keep plugging away, this installer is probably "ready for prime time." :-D Regards, Kevin Griffis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
