Comments/Problems:
ISSUE 1 - No DHCP found during 1st stage installation
This worked fine during earlier installations (last was Beta3).
I solved this by configuring the box with static networking and later changed
the configuration manually to DHCP.
ISSUE 2 - Some important modules not loaded after reboot
In the bootmessages I found the following lines:
<snip>
Discovering hardware: emu10k1 parport_pc ignore usb-uhci hisax ignore via-rhine
Skipping emu10k1; assuming it is build into the kernel
Skipping parport_pc; assuming it is build into the kernel
Skipping usb-uhci; assuming it is build into the kernel
Skipping hisax; assuming it is build into the kernel
Skipping via-rhine; assuming it is build into the kernel
<snip>
I ended up without network and sound! A manual 'modprobe' of the missing modules
and restarting networking fixed this.
It seems like ide-scsi is not discovered any longer. It was during previous
installations (I need it for my cd-writer and added it manually to /etc/modules).
ISSUE 3 - Error message after 2nd stage installation
Error: should never end up here when using 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
I also noticed there was a mode change for my videocard at one point, I'm not
sure if that was at the start of stage 1 or stage 2.
I don't know if this is related, but I did not see this during earlier installations.
ISSUE 4 - Error as a result of choosing 'en' as language
First: I think this choice should be the default (and not en_US)!
I did 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' after installation.
Probably because I selected 'en' during 1st stage, there was an option 'en ISO-8859-1'
in the list. After I added some more locales and confirmed, I got the following error:
Locales: en
Generating locales
en.ISO-8859-1 cannot open locale definition file `en': No such file or directory
After I deselected this option in the list, the locales where generated OK.
ISSUE 5 - partman: should renumber partitions?
I choose to manually change the partitions on /dev/hdb.
The old layout was:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Mounted as
/dev/hdb1 1 135 1084356 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hdb2 136 524 3124642+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdb5 136 176 329301 6 FAT16
/dev/hdb6 177 480 2441848+ 83 Linux /
/dev/hdb7 481 500 160618+ 83 Linux /home
/dev/hdb8 501 524 192748+ 82 Linux swap swap
The new layout is listed at the top of this report.
I deleted the old hdb6 and created two new partitions in the resulting free space.
It is not entirely consistent that the old partitions 7 and 8 are renumbered to
6 and 7, but that there is no renumbering after the new partitions are created.
This results in a partitionnumbering that does not reflect the physical order
on the disc.
Would it be possible to renumber the partitions to reflect their physical order?
I know other tools (partition magic) do this.
The result in my situation would then be:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Mounted as
/dev/hdb1 1 135 1084356 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hdb2 136 524 3124642+ 5 Extended
/dev/hdb5 136 176 329301 6 FAT16
/dev/hdb6 177 358 1461883+ 83 Linux /
/dev/hdb7 359 480 979933+ 83 Linux
/dev/hdb8 481 500 160618+ 83 Linux /home
/dev/hdb9 501 524 192748+ 82 Linux swap swap
