Bug#287406: installation-reports (Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook E-6585 (Notebook / P3 800Mhz / 512 MB RAM, ATI M4 16MB)

["McNutt Duncan" <duncan.mcnutt@siemens.com>]

Hi Joey, Bonjour Joseph,

Yes, Joseph is right.  It was udev not udeb (sorry, was transcribing results to another machine during install).

The kernel udev system is apparently not fully functional after the first reboot (kernel 2.4).

This message comes after X setup, but just before the package install.

I can reinstall and give you the exact message if you want? (Couldn't find it in the net)  The machine in question is just for testing debian anyway.


Cheers,
  Duncan
