Package: install
Version: various
Architecture: IBM ThibkPad R40e
Debian-installer on this IBM Thinkpad seems to require USB disabling in order to work with
the 2.4 kernel. If this is the case then this should be mentioned in the release notes.
HOWEVER the most recent installer, test 2-pre, hangs when booting even with USB
disabled but an earlier version works ok. I tried other arguments (floppy=thinkpad, disabling
APIC, LAPIC) with no differing results
Here are the different installers and options I've tried and their results:
installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug
kernel boot option: linux
argument: none
result: displays the language chooser but won't allow any keypresses.
installer version: don't know. a complete ISO of disc 1 downloaded using Jigdo on 9 Aug
kernel boot option: linux
argument: debian-installer/probe/usb=false
result: works

I had the problem of not allowing any key presses at the language chooser with the Woody
installer and there are many reports of it on the web, without work arounds

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.
