[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
This machine has a bay which takes either a CD or a floppy drive. As a result,
loading the floppy module fails in hardware detection. I got the same error
message about this three times. It should accept the non-existence of the
floppy drive and give up.
The evil autopartitioner still runs, threatening to destroy all my data,
even though I've defined a partition table.
Lilo pops up an error message "can't find /proc/partitions, disk scan
bypassed" but works anyway.
The CD-auto-eject at the end of the install is a nice touch.
After rebooting, things are less well. The kernel complains repeatedly
about "can't find block-major-114". The installation asks me for apt mirror
information again - I've already entered this in the installer. After a
trip through tasksel, it tries to install a kernel. This results in an
error message which may be summarised as, "I'm about to do something
unnecessary which will break your system. Do you want to continue?"
Overall impression: hardware detection is good, installation is easy to
carry out and follow provided you dodge the autopartkit bullet, and it's
worked on a number of other machines I've tried it on. It just needs
polishing a little, and the after-reboot side needs better testing.

Hello, a while ago you reported a problem with the Debian Installer. I
think that your problem is fixed in the just released beta 3 of the
installer. If you're still able to install to the hardware you tried it on,
please download it from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, and
try it again. Feel free to file another installation report.
A few of the new features of beta 3 include:
- new easy to use partitioner that supports automatic partitioning and LVM
- grub as the default boot loader on i386
- wireless networking support
- 2.4.25 kernel, with SATA support and security fixes
- support for the XFS filesystem
Note that your original installation report may have been split up into
multiple individual bug reports. If so this message closes only one bug,
and not other issues you reported.
