Bug#498863: More info on firewire issues
It looks like my problems with the Dec 5 & 6 installer builds is due to the CD
burner. The Dec 6 build (debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
0faa173fe594afdb374944cfc6610743) doesn't exhibit the freezing behavior if I
burn the CD from another machine so I need to do some investigation of that
here.
Even with the new installer build I see the the original problems - the IO
errors and cdrom-detect slowness/failures (and the Etch installer is still
fine). Maybe it is just some odd combination of hardware issues with this
machine.
I _did_ get Lenny installed
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=498863#15) so it's not a
total failure. I've now got 5 of my 6 machines on Debian and it's about time
to start on the last one - an eeePC.
