Comments/Problems:
Configure network HW:
The installer failed to bring up the pcmcia card services.
/etc/init.d/pcmcia tried to load the module "ds", which wasn't available
in the installer kernel and stopped there.
After removing this part of the init script and restarting it, the card
services were brought up successfully and installation continued.
Reboot:
The kernel which the installer put on the disk and tried to boot
(2.6.12-something) didn't recognize the partition table
(I would think, "Partition Types/PC BIOS" not activated in kernel config),
while the installer kernel got it right.
I had to use the rescue system on the installer disk and a chroot to reach
the new system and build my own kernel, which can read the partition table
(see uname -a above)
Greetings
