Comments/Problems:
First attempt was expert26.
Second attempt was expert.
It complained about not being able to install floppy module -- the
machine has no floppy. No big deal.
After the CD eject and reboot, the system always hung after starting the
usb modules. It also crashed out of hardware detection script
completely right before that hang. If system was rebooted it would make
it a little further to agpgart and hang there.
Doing some google searching found this, which may or may not be related
but has almost the exact same symptoms on an Acer laptop instead of the
eMachines:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=239122
Will attempt again with net boot CD from "current" on 11/15/2004 and
report back. (I thought I remembered seeing some e-mail about problems
with the businesscard CD some time ago, but I thought that was fixed.
I'll try the other method anyway to see what happens and use the newer
images.)
I can follow directions well and would be willing to pull any other
information from the installation that might be helpful to the d-i team,
but I need to know what you would want to see. More than happy to help out.
Nate

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.
