Comments/Problems:


1. when trying to start graphical installer on a low memory system,
fallback to text-based installer does not work, system hangs for
ever.

2. cdrom drive (and harddisk) were not detected in step "detecting
cd-rom drive". There were no ide related modules loaded
automatically in this step, only usb-storage was loaded. When I
loaded ide_generic by hand on the second console, it worked, cdrom
drive and hard disk were detected. 
In the past (etch) there were many modules loaded in this step...
Now only the one (usb-storage).

3. when it comes to partitioning the disk, I thought I could try the
guided partitioner. So I went back to "Load installer components
from CD", chose "partman-auto", again to partitioning disk, chose
"guided partitioning" -> use whole disk -> separate home-partition.
partman then presented me a partition table with two ext3 partitions
and one swap! Creating ext3 partitions on a low memory system
is not recommended, so automatic partitioner should not choose
ext3 as default in low memory installs.

4. the rest of the installation worked.

5. booting the new system didn't work:
	ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

   cat /proc/modules shows:
	floppy
	ohci_hcd
	usbcore
	thermal
	processor
	fan

So IMHO there are the ide modules missing in the initrd, too.





 
Kind regards
Holger

   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Log versions of modules being retrieved.
   * Only log logic for why modules are installed or asked if ANNA_VERBOSE=1
     is set in the environment.
 .
   [ Frans Pop ]
   * Remove Martin Sjogren and Matt Kraai as Uploaders with many thanks for
     their past contibutions.
   * Make sure components queued using anna-install always get installed, even
     when running in lowmem level 2. Closes: #476614.
   * Use Choices-C for component selection templates. The advantage is that
     preseeded values will show as selected (at the cost of a little memory).
     It is also a pre-requirement to implement more advanced selection by users,
     with components that should normally be installed being pre-selected.
