Comments/Problems:
Hi there,
I tried to install the official beta 3 of the debian-installer. It bootet=
and=20
I got onto the first page of the usual installation (bootparameter =3D li=
nux).
I choosed german as my preferred language, changed the keyboard settings.
Then the installer tried to detect my hardware and load the modules. For =
the=20
reason that the notebook I am using got no floppy-drive, the installer=20
stopped saying 'Detecting hardware [94%] "Skipping not available module=20
'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy''. And then the installer freezes. Not=
hing=20
works, I cannot change into the 2nd shell or so. I have to reboot.
I tried to install it by using the 'expert'-installation but soon or late=
r he=20
tries to detect and then skip loading the floppy-module. And that's where=
he=20
always freezes.
By the way: Installing Debian 3.0r2 worked perfectly without problems.. M=
aybe=20
for the reason that there he is not checking my floppy?
I hope this will help you to fix this.

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, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.
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.
