Root Device: <IDE?  SCSI?  Name of device?>

The *intended* root device is a Maxtor 160 GB IDE drive connected to an IDE controller "Ultra ATA 133/100 pro" from SIIG, Inc. In the actual event, this disk was not seen by the kernel that booted from the floppy. It did not show up in the partitioner, and snooping about on the "F2" console shows that the partitioner wasn't alone! The kernel didn't see it either.

	Here's a (possibly) relevant excerpt from the syslog file:

Comments/Problems:

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.>

The *intended* root device is a Maxtor 160 GB IDE drive connected to an IDE controller "Ultra ATA 133/100 pro" from SIIG, Inc. In the actual event, this disk was not seen by the kernel that booted from the floppy. It did not show up in the partitioner, and snooping about on the "F2" console shows that the partitioner wasn't alone! The kernel didn't see it either. See above for details. See installation report #274628 for details of a successful install of 2.4 from the pre-rc2 businesscard CD. Logfiles from this successful install are available at:

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
  Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
  the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
  D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
  fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful


The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet. 

In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.

You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.

If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.

Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
