Bug#271606: Sarge installer woes on Alpha

["Peter Van Rompaey" <blacky@blacky.be>]

Hi,

it occurs right after the partitioner has created the necessary partitions.
The progress bar fills up to 100% for the last partition, and then this
appears in white font with red background.

Mind, this only happens when using the Adaptec Controller. If I use the
Qlogic one that was originally in the machine, I bump into bug 271444.

The hardware should be good, though, since I used to run RedHat 7.1 on the
Alpha machine, and the Adaptec was in a machine which dualboots between
Win2k and Solaris 9 x86.

best regards,
Peter
