Comments/Problems:
The installation exhibited three peculiarities. Nothing
serious (I think), but a bit strange.
P1) D-i asks for "Start PC Card services?" three times during the
process - one would be more reasonable. The three times are during
"Detect and mount CD-ROM", "Detect Network Hardware" and "Detect
Hardware", respectively.
P2) The four LAN cards have a different naming scheme
than under my old (very much updated, but currently
2.6.8 based) debian. Old scheme was
eth0 - Realtek PCI card A
eth1 - Realtek PCI card B
eth2 - Cisco Aironet (mounted on PCI board)
eth3 - the on-board connection
New scheme is
eth0 - the on-board connection
eth1 - Realtek PCI card A
eth2 - Realtek PCI card B
eth3 - Cisco Aironet (mounted on PCI board)
=2D the new naming scheme is *also* there when I
boot the installed disk!
Of course I had to tell d-i to choose "eth1" as "primary
network interface" - that's where the cable to the world
sits.
P3) The partitioning of the disk goes just fine under debian-installer
=2D but "parted" (running under the installed system) is not satisfied:
"Warning: Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that=20
another
partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't=
=20
have
the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore,but ignoring may cause
(fixable) problems with some boot loaders."
How is it that d-i produces a partition table that parted thinks is incorre=
ct?

In that case I'll close this installation report since the only real bug
in it is already filed.
