Comments/Problems:
At first I couldn't complete the install: after reboot, base-install
failed on tasksel, broken dependencies or something. But it seems the
problem was on the debian servers side for the day after I was able to
complete the install with exactly the same settings. This problem
made me attempt several installs and I experienced the red screen
sometimes, not systematically.
Sometimes DHCP was detected at once, but two times it seems it was
detected "just too late": d-i reported a failure, but switching to
another console and typing ifconfig showed that the detection did
complete. After that, retrying DHCP detection from d-i succeeded
immediately.
/etc/fstab shows:
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
The cdrom line is OK (though I would rather have it mounted to /cdrom
directly, so that I can "mount /cdrom") but /media/cdrom0 doesn't
exist.
I don't know if this concerns d-i:
To get sound working, I had to add "skip i810_audio" in
/etc/discover.conf (oss-alsa conflict I guess), and "parport_pc" in
/etc/hotplug/blacklist (IRQ 7 conflict)
I found the X configuration a bit confusing: IIRC, I was told that
since I have an LCD screen that can only handle one resolution (or
something like that), I could only choose between 'normal' and
'advanced', so I chose 'normal', and I was asked for the resolution,
but I couldn't choose 1400x1050... After the install I edited
XF86Config-4 to add 1400x1050 and it works perfectly.

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.
