INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version:
Beta2; 18-Jan-2004;
http://people.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
uname -a: N/A, didn't get that far
Date: 19-Jan-2004
Method:
Booted off the netinst ISO and installed from it.
Machine: Sony Vaio PCG-FRV28
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 - 2.8Ghz
Memory: 512MB
Root Device: IDE, single disk on primary controller (/dev/hda)
Root Size/partition table:
(From memory):
/dev/hda1 - 5G 'recovery'
/dev/hda2 - 10G NTFS (WinXP)
/dev/hda3 - 128MB root
/dev/hda4 - Extended

/dev/hda6 - 3G /usr
/dev/hda7 - 1G /var
/dev/hda8 - 5G /home
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

I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.
I'm closing your installation report, after determining that:
- Some problems you reported are no longer present in current versions of t=
he
installer.
- Some problems you reported are known, and have existing bugs in the BTS.
- Your report mentions some strange problems that seem unlikely to be
present in current versions of the installer.
- Your report included suggestions that we have decided not to implement,
or to do in some other way.
- You reported some previously unreported problems. Bugs have been cloned
from your installation report, and reassigned to the relevant packages.
If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, <http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/>. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.
