Hi, I've tested d-i beta3 sucessfully on a couple of (i386) machines,
and have had no problem at all, apart from the fact that I haven't been
able to install lilo.
Either time I've booted d-i in "expert" mode and followed the menu. When
I came to choose the kernel loader I tried to choose lilo. The menu says
it's installing it but then, when I choosed to reboot it proceeds with
installing grub. (<- of course if I've told it to install LILO I don't want
grub, so it seems that something is going wrong!)
The time I tried to tell it to go on without any boot loader (since I
had already completed a lilo installation, and I didn't want grub to
overwrite it) I found out that lilo wasn't really there, and my system
didn't have a kernel loader!
Am I missing something or there's something wrong in that phase of the
installation process?
Thanks,
Guido

Hi,
first and foremost: thank you for your bug report.
I'm currently processing old installation reports, and have come across
yours. Many thanks for all your feedback. It is much appreciated.
Much has changed with the installer since March and I believe that the=20
boot loader issues you mention have been resolved, so I will close this=20
report now (please reopen if you disagree). Also, as you may know=20
already, lilo is no longer the default boot loader (grub is new=20
default).
Thanks,
=2D --=20
