Comments/Problems:
Okay, this is complicated. As I use a laptop, there is no floppy. And
this is where the story starts. Booting from the CD was no problem, but
then hw detection was started and everything went okay until it came to
"ide-floppy". Installer said smth like "skipping unavailable module
'ide-floppy' " and kept hanging there.
So I booted in expert mode. well, I got it to load my network drivers
(via rhine) and then I had to do "hardware install" again...guess what,
yes, ide-floppy failed again - The syste, was just showing that messaga
and did nothing. I rebooted again and again, trying to catch a debug
output on console (what I didn't manage) and looking into
/lib/modules/... I found out there is no ide-floppy.o...well, I did
touch ide-floppy.o before I started hw detection, didn't help. I did cp
ide-cd.o ide-floppy.o -- didn't help.
Each time the system was hanging and I got more and more frustrated.
maybe this isn't a ide-floppy.o problem. maybe the installer waits for
insmod / modprobe to exit with status 0, but smth goes wrong, and we
hang.
Ah yes, sometimes it was also complaining about ide-probe-mod, that it
couldn't be loaded also.
Well, I hope this helps, if you wish a lspci output, please send me a
mail, then I will try to get one.
Thanks! Tobias

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.
