Comments/Problems:
When booting the 2.6 kernel on this arch my PS/2 keyboard has no input
ability. Works fine w/ the 2.4 kernel. Serial console works, did not try
USB keyboard.
Additionally, the installer failed to recognize part of my preseed
directive:
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/discs/disc0/disc
and stopped at the screen asking me which disk to partition. Changing the
string to "/dev/sda" avoided that problem. It works properly with
either choice when booting 2.4.
Thanks,
