INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: 06-Mar-2004, from http://ftp.pl.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/installer-i386/current/
uname -a: I'm on different install now
Date: 10-Mar-2004
Method: from floppy then network on a previously prepeared ext3 filesystem
from ftp.pl.debian.org, no proxy.
Machine: PC self made from trash parts
Processor: Pentium 120
Memory: 32M RAM
Root Device: IDE, hda1
Root Size/partition table: all on hda1, about 1700M
Output of lspci: I'm on different install now
This is intel/Zappa motherboard with chpiset 430FX,
network card 3Com Etherexpress II TP (8 bit ISA).
Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O]
Configure network HW: [O]
Config network: [O]
Detect CD: [ ]
Load installer modules: [E]
Detect hard drives: [E]
Partition hard drives: [ ]
Create file systems: [ ]
Mount partitions: [O]
Install base system: [E]
Install boot loader: [O]
Reboot: [O]
First kernel start [E]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
expert mode
Too small memory (32M).
As before I coped by removing all network modules after autodetection,
then removing all ide/pci modules, with the exception of piix.o,
before ide hardware detection.
Then a swap file and it run OK, kernel upload also OK (2.4.25).
GRUB OK, but after the rebott the machine reboots
after it prints something about initrd (~5 lines of messages, total).
Will try with a rescue floppy now.
So it seems, the installed does not work on 32M,
but with additional superexpert mode,
where you choose which debian-installer components to skip
and which modules to choose (no autoprobing), 32M shoudl be enough.
On the other hand 24M seems impossible.
Cheers,
Mikolaj

I'm closing this old installation report, since it looks to me like all the
problems reported in it are old and fixed. There are much newer versions of
the debian installer available, that fix lots of bugs. If you're able to
try one and verify that the problems you reported are fixed (or file a new
report if not), that would be great.
Thanks for your installation report.
