Comments/Problems:

The problem is with hardware auto-discovery -- the system has a compaq
"remote insight board" (lights out management hardware) at PCI
0000:00:06.0 and 0000:00:06.1, which is mis-detected as a megaraid
controller, and "insmod megaraid" then hangs.

This happens during non-expert install, but can be worked around by
using expert mode and deselecting the megaraid driver when is is
detected. Still, when rebooting from hard disk (grub in the drive's
boot sector), the autodetection in the initrd makes the same error, so
the system never completes the boot.

This means it's impossible to get a working 2.6 sarge install with
this card in the machine, since the "rescue" entry in the grub menu
isn't able to get around the initrd hw-detection stuff, and even
mounting the root fs from a knoppix boot and deleting the hw-detection
stuff doesn't help, as it is still in the initrd.

Note that the hardware detection seems to be severely broken WRT the
megaraid card, as it also shows up in the list of modules offered
after "detect network hardware" (together with the modules for the two
NICs that are correctly detected; no other modules are mis-detected as
network cards).

In the end, I booted the 2.4 installer and installed the 2.4.26
kernel, and it worked. Still had to deselect the megaraid module
during the install, but the installed OS boots fine.

As a personal comment: I think this "hold the user's hand" stuff is
going in the wrong direction for debian -- If I need a distro which
thinks it is smarter than me (thereby breaking stuff, as demonstrated
here), I can use SuSE, fedora or mandrake.

I would strongly suggest either

- removing hardware autodetection from the initrd and instead going
  with the fixed list of modules which were detected/used with d-i.

- providing some way to get around the autodetection in initrd (maybe
  there is such a way, but the d-i manual and FAQ don't describe it)

   * Joshua Kwan
     - Fix pci.lst to reflect this from pci_ids.h:
          #define PCI_VENDOR_ID_3WARE             0x13C1
          #define PCI_DEVICE_ID_3WARE_9000        0x1002
       so 13c11002 now points to 3w-9xxx (which is currently only available
       in 2.6), closes: #269734
     - Change 10111014 to use the 'd4x5' driver. Closes: #269654
     - Change 104c8021 to bridge/ohci1394. Closes: #267410
     - Change 80861960 to unknown/unknown to fix a misload of the megaraid
       module. Closes: #271181
     - Add usb/usb-uhci for 8086265[8-b]. Closes: #268434
     - Add ethernet/e100 + appropriate names from pci.ids for 8086106[4-b].
       Closes: #266947
     - Add scsi/aic79xx for 90058016. Closes: #271347
