Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [E]

Comments/Problems:

The machine hangs itself up when starting sysklogd when starting
linux26. When starting expert26, it just freezes after the screen is
cleared the first time, leaving the cursor blinking at the lower
left corner. This is reproducible.

I tried BOOT_DEBUG=255, but I cannot read the output as it scrolls
too fast, I do not have a serial console available, and flow control
is apparently not (yet) operable.

The boot works fine if I specify either of

  expert26 debian-installer/probe/usb=false
  linux26 debian-installer/probe/usb=false

at the boot prompt (added to the Wiki).

The R40e also suffers from the "missing keyboard" bug (see Wiki),
for which only the Caps Lock workaround seems to work -- very
sporadically.
