Meanwhile I managed the problem(s):
- using the newer installer from e.g. 20050926
But still I had the problem that the newly installed system didn't boot
correctly, because
- I have a fix installed USB Card reader that is detected
Successfully by usb-storage driver
- sata-sil was not detected (or not checked?) during initial
Default driver loading in installer
- sata-sil was loaded just during harddrive detection in installer
AFTER usb-storage driver was already installed as a default driver
=> my harddrive was detected as drive /dev/sde
during install process
- all setup was done for /dev/sde
- but when booting, the sata-sil driver is (of course) loaded BEFORE
The usb-storage driver => harddrive is detected as /dev/sda and the
Root filesystem cannot be mounted
SOLUTION:
- use expert installation mode
- do all default actions except:
always DESELECT usb-storage driver so the harddisk is
Detected as /dev/sda and the system boots fine after ;-=)
SUGGESTION:
- if possible, unload previous loaded drivers in installer if no
harddisk
was detected and the driver is selected by hand to avoid
having harddisk as 'wrong' device in /dev/
Anyway,
Debian is great!
Cheers,
Stefan.
