Comments/Problems:
After I installed the system sucessfully and worked a little bit on
it, the harddrive has started giving strange error messages and the filesystem
is totally f***ed up now. I believe this is a hardware problem though.
I only took the machine to try the installer. Haven't used it for a
year or two.
Here the problems during the install:
I use a pcmcia network card, but the PCMCIA bus was not correctly
configured (insmod of ds.o failed, because there was no socket driver
loaded), so the network didn't work. After the install I used modconf
to load the correct module and it worked. Don't know what the problem
exactly was. I can give you a lspci output later if wanted.
I encountered some minor problems during the install process:
While creating the filesystems, I selected /dev/hda1 and ext2 and
/boot. Then I selected /dev/hda2 (which was already a swap partition)
and "keep filesystem". After that /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda2 were both
marked as to be mounted on /boot
After the note about the reboot showed up a note about debconf
priorities, but I couldn't read it since the reboot was already
started. Somewhat confusing ;)
Gruesse,
