The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and,
according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the
BTS so it will not be lost.

Hi-
This is my second install report, apoligies for errors, welcome=20
correction.
thanks,

INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: Jan 07 Daily, from
http://people.debian.org/~manty/testing/netinst/i386/daily/
uname -a: Linux 2.4.22-1-386 #9 Sat Oct 4 14:30.39 i686 unknown

Machine: Hp DL360 G3
Processor: 1 Intel Xeon
Memory: 1024 mb
Root Device: Smart Array 5i/532
Root Size/partition table:
disk1 ext2 34 gigs
disk5 linux swap 1 gig
Output of lspci:

Base System Installation Checklist:

Partition hard drives: [O]

Reboot: [ ]
[O] =3D OK, [E] =3D Error (please elaborate below), [ ] =3D didn't try it
Note - This machine has two physical hard drives configured into a raid
0+1 array (in hardware), which the installer sees as one drive of half
the size (as it should). Not sure if this has anything to do with
partitioning problems or not.
Comments/Problems:
(note - #1 is verbatim copied from my previous report, everything is the=20
same, i have included it here for completeness only)
1. The installer first went to cfdisk. I created the partitions (1
ext3 (bootable), 1 swap), wrote the table, and selected finish. Then it
went to the next screen where I am supposed to configure/mount the
partitions, and instead of the list of my partitions (should have been
2), the list has 6 or 8 entries, most consisting of just one letter,
like this:
N
N
O
O
P
P
Q
Q
913 MiB
Anytime I select one of these list entries and hit <enter> it boots me
out to the menu screen. At the menu screen, I am able to select
auto-partition, which works fine and creates almost the same setup that
I would have created anyway, so this is not a fatal problem.
2. Everything seems to install fine excepting the kernel. The red=20
screen comes up and says that the kernel failed. I hit alt-f3 to see=20
what dpkg reports, and find the following:
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: constituant device /dev/cciss/disc0/part1 does not exist
failed to create initrd image.
I believe that device to be my raid device. When I look at it, ala:
ls -l /dev/cciss/disc0
it lists this:
brw--- 1 root root 104, 0 disc
brw--- 1 root root 104, 1 part1
brw--- 1 root root 104, 2 part2
brw--- 1 root root 104, 5 part5
Things that seem curious:
Why is mkinitd caring about my hardware devices, doesn't it just =20
need to see the files in /target?
Why are there 3 partitions, there are only two in cfdisk (ext2,=20
swap). Unless it counts a few megs of free space as another partition.

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.
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.
