Comments/Problems:

The graphics card (IBM GXT-3000P) isn't well supported in Linux, so I
had to use a serial console. The installer's refresh rate was very
slow over a serial connection (it takes more than a second to draw
each screen). Other than that minor annoyance, everything went
smoothly. Great work!

Next time try using the network-console module. This will allow you to run 
most of the installation over an SSH session, which is much faster.
You can use this by booting the installer with "modules=network-console".

Closing this report as the installation was successful. Thank you for 
submitting it.

Cheers,
