Bug#228960: install: kernel-parameter noapic fixes prob
Package: install
Severity: normal
Followup-For: Bug #228960
I had the same problem with the sarge-installer, hardware detection was
freezing at about 90%, saying something of floppy not available and so
on.
When I started the installer with kernel-Parameter noapic then
everything worked fine.
Former installations of debian-woody and other linuxes had the same
problem, i only could start with this boot-parameter.
It seems that kernel 2.6 (tested with 2.6.3-k7 package from sarge)
hasn't got this problem, it starts without noapic...
regards,
koebi
