Comments/Problems:
Initial boot worked:
Booting with "expert vga=0x318" (fbconsole) gave me a blank screen.
No problem if I omit the vga option.
Configure network HW:
A lot of IDE drivers were listed! No option to select
"sata_sil", though. Discover would have found it.
Choose mirror:
Alioth (AMD64) was not listed. Boooooooooooooh.
Detect hard drives:
Did not work. No disk was found. After running
"modprobe sata_sil" on console 2 I had to go back 2
steps in the menu, then my harddisk was listed.
Partition hard drives:
This menu looks very strange/ambiguous when there are
no disks. Maybe you should put a "No disks found" there,
indicating that something went wrong with the user
selections in one of the previous steps.
Install base system:
I stopped here, cause I could not remember the URL for
the AMD64 packages.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
I was asked twice to disable the IDE drivers I do not(!!!) want
(during Network Hardware Detection, and later during Hardware
Detection). Thats pretty strange. Maybe you could rely upon
discover here? Discover would have listed the sata_sil module,
too.
