Comments/Problems:
Some modules couldn't be loaded;
Creating the ~20GB JFS partition took more than 1hour, I suspect this is due to too extensive bad-block tests,
Also tried creating an Ext3 partition, it only took a blink;
First I tried the "businesscard" ISO, but the base system installation failed with error 1 (it didn't give any details, not
even related errors on vc/3 and vc/4...), the "netinstall" ISO didn't show this problem;
First I tried to only create a swap and a root partition, root type JFS, and the installer complained that it's likely that GRUB
cannot boot off of a JFS partition, and indeed it had a fatal error installing GRUB, when I created a small Ext3 /boot
partition GRUB installed fine, *BUT* I was previously using GRUB and JFS (my previous Debian install) and GRUB *CAN* reliably
boot from JFS and install itself!;
Also, the partitioner set the type of the swap partition to 0x83, whereas "linux swap" should be 0x82, but this is only a minor problem
Sorry I had to forge my "From: " address because it seems the BTS is crawled by spambots and I got tremendous amouts of
spam on my address I used for reporting bugs :-/
Anyway, thanks! The new Debian installer is great :-)
