Method: boot from floppy, got installation packages from local
apt-proxy, which gets its packages mainly from ftp.de.debian.org
Machine: self-built
Processor: Pentium-II 350MHz
Memory: 256MB
Root Device: should be IDE disk, but see below

Output of lspci and lspci -n:
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: [O]
Detect CD: [ ]
Load installer modules: [E]
Detect hard drives: [E]
Partition hard drives: [E]
Create file systems: [ ]
Mount partitions: [ ]
Install base system: [ ]

Reboot: [ ]
Comments/Problems:
- initial boot worked fine
- when getting the kernel modules from the network, the packages file
was downloaded (both from my apt-proxy and directly from debian
mirror), but the installer refused to get the kernel modules citing a
kernel version mismatch between the booted kernel and the available
modules. Trying other some other mirrors and distributions was not
successful
- on some earlier attempt, the loading of the driver floppy had some
problems (bad floppy). After the message that it has failed, the
installer got into an infinite loop (flashing white over black
background)
