Output of lspci:
Unfortunately I havn't got it, the install didn't make it far
enough to where I could get it off using the network. If I can
run it from the install CD I could hand copy it, if necessary.
Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O] - only eth0 :(
Detect CD: [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives: [O]
Partition hard drives: [O]
Create file systems: [O]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [E]
Install boot loader: [O]
Reboot: [E]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
Alright, first a few bitches:
- Waiting for DHCP to time out sucked, I know it won't work,
eth0 isn't even connected to anything
- Couldn't configure my wireless card (eth1), though it did
appear to be detected and looked operational
- bash on con2, for whatever reason, stops responding if you hit
'alt-1' by accident (like when going for alt-f1 to get back to
the installation), this is *very* annoying since you have to
restart the install to get a shell to work in, it'd be nice to
have a way to forcibly reset the shell or bring up another one
or something
- Every other step it appears to 'detect hardware' or whatever,
what's with that? I don't have a floppy on the machine but
every time it takes a few seconds to try and load it.
Now, the big problems:
- discover just hung for a *long* time (>30 minutes), it was
called with 'modules-detect all', iirc. This was in the
postinst of discover after the 'base system' had been
installed and it was installing 'extra components', iirc.
I didn't see any kernel oops or anything abnormal, and I was
able to kill discover off (though it just restarted and got
stuck at the same place). Eventually I just hacked up the
postinst to act like it didn't find anything (MODULES="").
This got me through the rest of the install and to reboot.
- On boot, everything looked alright except after saying
something like 'lp0: detected blah blah' nothing else showed
up. It looked to have just hung at that point. Maybe it
was trying to load up some framebuffer or maybe X is supposted
to start at that point? I dunno, but I couldn't do anything,
none of the other consoles appeared to be up or anything. I
recall being warned that there might be a problem with the
current X in Debian and the graphics card in my laptop (ATI
Radeon IGP 345M 64MB (shared)), though 4.3 (released *how*
long ago?) supports it. Don't know if that's a problem here
or not.
Hope this helps, I'm thinking about trying a daily-build or
something. If anyone has any comments/suggestions on things I
could try, I'm all ears. I'd really like to get Debian on the
box, and heard d-i was starting to get pretty decent...
Thanks,
Stephen
