Root Size/partition table:
/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc (IBM-DJNA-532500/ 24405MB)

Base System Installation Checklist:
     Everything works fine until:

Install base system:    [E]

[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

I tried both Swedish and American-English as language. Swedish keyboard with common mini-DIN connection.

Everything works fine downloading the installer components.  Then I get the 
error:
"Base system installation error"
debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1).

In /target/var/log/debootstrap.log I find this:

Setting up iputils-ping (20020927-2) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of lilo:
 lilo depends on libdevmapper1.00; however
  Package libdevmapper1.00 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing lilo (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Setting up libgnutls7 (0.8.12-5) ...

and then, in the very end of the log file even I find:

Errors were encountered while processing:
 lilo
/usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found

I tried to install LILO from the menu on my lun0/disc. Freezing the output with Scroll Lock I notized this:

modprobe: failed to load module usb-uhci
modprobe: failed to load module usbkbd
modprobe: failed to load module keybdev
modprobe: failed to load module usbserial
Trying to enable the frame buffer..
insmod: init_module: vesafb: No such device or address
modprobe: failed to load module vesafb
modprobe: failed to load module vga16fb

I get no confirmation that LILO is installed. (Am I supposed to?)
Maybe this is not related, but lsmod shows that all the mentioned modules but vesafb are loaded. modprobe vesafb fails:

Using /lib/modules/2.4.22-1-386/kernel/drivers/video/vesafb.o
insmod: init_module: vesafb: No such device or address
modprobe: failed to load module vesafb


I hope that this can help.
