Comments/Problems:
Issue #1:
I chose the linux26 kernel to increase the chances of it detecting my
SATA hard disks. After booting, I could not find any evidence that my
harddisks were detected (/dev/discs/* only listed my CDROM drive), so
I concluded that they weren't detected.
When my hard drives weren't detected, I got the partitioning menu
regardless, but with no partitions listed. I find this behaviour
potentially confusing (especially for new users), it should display an
error "no harddisks detected" instead.
I thought Linux 2.6 supported SATA, so I am not sure if this is a
kernel issue or debian-installer issue. I will continue investigating.
I will also try and get correct lspci output.
Issue #2:
Switching between console screens corrupts screen output when
switching back to the first VT. All the writing appears from the
previous console instead of the new console with vertical lines to
indicate the different colours on the new console.
I haven't seen anything quite like it before...
I believe the display card is ATI Radeon 9800.
For an example, see
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~bam/temp/IMG_0327.JPG>, when looking
at 4th console and
<URL:http://people.debian.org/~bam/temp/IMG_0328.JPG> for after changing
back to the 1st console.
I haven't been able to get it to correctly redisplay the first console
after switching away from it, normal screen redraws don't seem to
help.
Switching to any other console other then the first one works fine.
