Comments/Problems:
Detect hard drives: modules "libata" and "sata_uli" were not
automatically loaded so the hard disk would not be recognized. Solved by
manually loading them from a console before the "detect hard drives"
phase.
Install base system: I wanted to install a "sarge" installation from
DVD, but the sarge installer kernel does not include the sata_uli driver
for my hard disk. The etch installer does. It was not clear how to do
this mixed installation. It worked when I:
- booted with the etch installer
- kept the etch installer in the CD drive for the "load installer
modules" phase
- manually changed the CD and put the first sarge DVD in the CD drive
before the "install base system" phase.
That this was difficult to do is not really your fault. I'm just telling
you in case other people ask and you want to put a short note in a FAQ.
Install boot loader: (with GRUB) it didn't realize that I had MS-Windows
installed in sda1, and so no option for booting it was included in the
automatically generated GRUB menu.lst. An additional problem is that I
didn't seem to find any editor with which I could manually modify the
GRUB menu file --so I had to "edit" it with "echo ... >> menu.lst". I
suggest adding a tiny editor, or if there is indeed an editor other than
"vi" or "emacs", I suggest adding a symlink from "editor".
Anyway, I hadn't done a Debian installation from scratch since at least
2.0, and man, what an improvement! Good job.
