Comments/Problems:
HDD: GTK installer didn't work (failed to recognize hdd), however
this seems to be a problem with my image, as it also failed on an
other machine. Text based install worked very well.
This is strange: the installer, and hence the hdd recognition code,
is always the same, what changes is just the final interface (text
or graphical).
Anyone has an explanation for this?
I have some additional information about this problem: I tried this
today on my
other machine (Yakumo notebook) and took some screenshots (with my
digital camera as I couldn't write to harddisk). While doing this I
noticed something strange: After about 5 minutes of now activity
suddenly the installer started. However I still was not able to mount
the HDD. The messages were the same with the HP notebook, but I didn't
want to try it here as I need this machine and didn't want to risk any
problems here.

Messages where the boot process stalled (note the completely wrong size
and disk geometry)
The "lost interrupt" messages appeared about once per minute.
