package: debian-installer
version: ???
severity: critical
debian version: 3.1r3
Any installation attempt on a HP Compaq nx6325 notebook fails for a
multitude of reasons:
1. starting with "linux" results in not-recognizing the keyboard, no
interaction possible
2. starting with "linux noapic" results in recognizing the keyboard
but not recognizing the single hard drive (which is S-ATA),
therefore no partitioning etc. possible
3. starting with "linux26" results in recognizing the keyboard but
not recognizing the single hard drive (which is S-ATA), therefore
no partitioning etc. possible
4. starting with "linux26 noapic" also results in recognizing the
keyboard but not recognizing the single hard drive (which is
S-ATA), therefore no partitioning etc. possible
I am using ubuntu 6.06.1 i386 on this very notebook to create this bug
report, also SUSE 10.1 is installable and runs fine on this hardware
(both need "noapic" for proper function.

Bothe the 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 kernels shipped with Sarge have very limited
support of SATA. This is documented in the errata for the Sarge
installer.
Please try one of the images for Etch [1], which should support your
hardware much better.
Alternatively you could try an unofficial image that has a backported more
recent kernel [2].
Closing this report as the limitations of Sarge for hardware like yours
are well known and cannot be fixed without a different kernel.
Cheers,
