Comments/Problems:
* The installer asked about _3_ times if I have any PCMCIA devices.
No real problem but a little annyoing.
* During the installation various messages where shown that several
modules could not be loaded. I guess they were loaded at a later
stage or were not needed anyway. So again no problem but a little
confusing.
* Sound: After the base install and with the shipped kernel sound
didn't work. After compiling a custom kernel with ALSA and without
OSS everything is fine.
* Grub: Here comes the only real problem:
I installed Debian on the S-ATA drive (shown as /dev/hde above,
originally named /dev/sda). The machine contains an old IDE drive
too (/dev/hda - primary master). The BIOS is set to boot from the
S-ATA drive i.e. BIOS reports it as the first and the IDE drive as
the second hard disk. But: grub thought that the S-ATA drive with
Debian was (hd1) - and therefore didn't boot - until I changed it
to (hd0) in /boot/grub/menu.lst. (Additionally the grub install
detected my old Windows on the IDE drive but recognized it as the
first drive although it's the second. I had to change (hd0) to
(hd1). Furthermore in order to be able to boot into Windows I had
to use the 'map' directive in menu-lst to swap the drives for the
NT bootloader but that's another story.)
* RAM: I was a little surprised that the shipped kernel included
about each and everything but no HIGHMEM support so I initially had
only 896MB of my 1GB RAM available. (And I didn't know that 1GB is
already HIGHMEM ;-))
