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.

All the issues mentioned in this installation report are known to be
fixed, except the mirror setup, which has an existing bug in the BTS,
and the block-major-114 thing. Since this report is so old, I doubt any
of the problems mentioned still apply, so I'm closing it. If you'd like
to try again with the tc1 images and file a new report, that would be
appreciated.
