The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and,
according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the
BTS so it will not be lost.

Comments/Problems:
1. Problem:
-----------
The problem occured after partitioning the disk and choosing "Finish":
The install process just "hung". Watching kernel messages on ALT+F3 (I
think), it said the following:
Using /lib/modules/..../jbd.o
Using /lib/modules/..../ext3.o
Using /lib/modules/..../reiserfs.o
Using /lib/modules/..../jfs.o
insmod: xfs.o: no module by that name found
modprobe: failed to load module xfs
Checking /lib/modules/.../, I couldn't find xfs.o by hand either.
Pressing CTRL+C resulted in "nothing" once and in a "Kernel Ooops"
twice.
2. Problem (general Linux-Problem!?):
-------------------------------------
The VIA-Rhine-II NIC (onboard) is not properly supported by the kernel.
Though it is recognized and the module is loaded, the NIC doesn't work
(no DHCP, etc.).
As I had the same problems with the Mandrake 9.2 install CD, I think
it's just a Linux kernel problem, so nothing directly related to d-i.
3. "HCI":
---------
"Configure the Network" should IMHO show the kernel-module assigned to
the available NICs listed. This way it would be possible to distinguish
between 2 different NICs (such as is the case in my machine: Via Rhine
and Realtek).
Currently, it only says "eth0" and "eth1", one has to guess here ...
4. "HCI":
---------
In case of DHCP-failure, it would be great if one could go back to the
NIC-menu without having to go through the manual network-settings and
finally have a - for an unexperienced user probably quite overwhelming -
menu of all possibly d-i steps.
Anyway, many thanks for your great and hard work!
Cheers,
Markus A.

I'm closing this installation report, since request(s) for more information
were not answered. If you still experience the problem, or if you can tell
us the information we originally asked for, please write back and tell us.
Note that much newer versions of the installer are now available, which fix
a lot of bugs, including possibly the ones you reported.
