flavor: I'm using images from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/tc1/images/hd-media/2.6/
architecture: i386
memory: 512 mg
I tried to install Debian sarge on my hard disk from other partition on hard driver.
In the "Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide" in chapter 5.1 (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s01.html) I can see description in
"5.1.3. Booting from linux using LILO or GRUB". In the example of /etc/lilo.conf I can see this text :
image=/boot/newinstall/vmlinuz
label=newinstall
initrd=/boot/newinstall/initrd.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="devfs=mount,dall"
But when I tried to run install I see message "RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768)". It is because ram disk size is too small
for unpack initrd.gz. When I change kernel parameters to
append="devfs=ramdisk_size=16384,mount,dall"
It runs good, but message "Unable to mount root fs on ram1" was displayed. When I changed line into
root=/dev/ram0
then installer runs good.
Line 'append="devfs=mount,dall,ramdisk_size=16384"' doesn't work !
Please, change Installation Guide.
WBR, Alex.

Description:

Closes: 232252 246890 250026 250027 255821 261625
Changes:
debian-installer (20040728) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Steve Langasek
- Add additional missing ligature characters and harakat
(diacritics) to needed-characters/ar.
* Thiemo Seufer
- Add /dev/null to the image tree if !USERDEVFS.
* Bastian Blank
- Remove countrychooser and languagechoose from generic type.
* Joey Hess
- Switch release builds back to using udebs from testing.
- Add firewire-core-modules to the 2.6 kernel_specific nic-modules list, as
used by i386, amd64, and powerpc, all of which were just changed so that
nic-modules depend on firewire-modules for 2.6 kernels.
- Remove ipv6-modules and wireless-tools-udeb from the i386 net-drivers
floppy to get back under the floppy size limit. Closes: #261625
- Numerous fixes and updates to the installer manual, including
improved docs on PXE booting for i386 (Closes: #232252),
rewritten section of downloading files that avoids bad links and
outdated image names (Closes: #246890), document ramdisk_size for lilo
and grub booting better (Closes: #255821).
- i386 kernel no longer support rarp, disable that in install manual.
Closes: #250027 ; Same for hppa. Closes: #250026
- Integrate installation howto into manual. The old text format howto is
left for now until we update all links and docs to point to the new one.
- Full package builds build the manual in official build mode.
* Stephen R. Marenka
- Kill second set of m68k initrds, genext2fs seems to work.
- Add /dev/null to userdevfs-dev.txt.
- Update m68k manual.
* Colin Watson
- Document 'install video=ofonly' instead of 'install-safe', which is
going away (it caused combinatorial explosion in the yaboot prompt on
full CDs).
- Add fb-modules and floppy-modules to powerpc cdrom and netboot
initrds.
* Bastian Blank
- Update s390 manual: remove mention of second initrd and devfs.
* Martin Michlmayr
- Add cobalt-scripts and colo-udeb to the Cobalt initrd.
* Sven Luther
- Switch default powerpc kernel to 2.6.
