Comments/Problems:
GRUB failed to install during the installation process but LILO does the job.
Many tries and nothing special here simple / and swap give the same result (GRUB failed)
If grub is installed after the installation process then grub install is OK but then during the boot i've got
pivot_root no such file or dir /sbin/init:426
cannot open dev/console!no such file
kernel panic
grub config is OK.
I think that this bug has nothing to do with the well known problem of the 3w_9xxx module because LILO has no problem at all.
Sorry but I don't have access to this machine anymore and can't give further information but this bug is
easy to reproduce on any HP Proliant DL 380 with debian installer pré-rc2 and rc2.

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.
