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

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [E]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [E]
Install boot loader:    [E]
Reboot:                 [E]

Comments/Problems:

The PPPoE option is not proposed by the installer for network configuration. It must be done manually later on.

The base system install started well, but the finalization raised a kernel panic due to acpi. I needed to pass acpi=off to the kernel for the base install to complete.

The boot loader install failed (both grub and lilo) because the kernel file /boot/vmlinuz was located too far on the hard drive.
I finally mounted /boot on /dev/sda1, solving this problem.
It would still be nice to have an error message explaining why the boot loader can not install for this very reason, when it happens.

Anyway, each time I install a new Debian, I am impressed by the installer improvements; thanks for all this work!
