Comments/Problems:
I used the partition tool to have /home mounted on /hda1
The installer seemed like it accepted it.
Notice how I declared everything `Primary'...
The first problem manifested itself on reboot. It would not.
I think it was because grub got installed on /hda0 instead of /sda0
I started the whole installation again. (Did not know how to boot /sda2 directly)
This time, after grub, I installed lilo on /sda2 and Linux booted fine
The base-config misconfigured my HP91 high resolution monitor: No 19"/18"-viewable
available and no High Resolution configured.
I don't know if it is a bug but running base-config afterwards at multiuser
level or
console single user level did not allow me the opportunity to reconfigure X.
Also, in the end, /home was on /sda2 instead of /hda1 like I had used partman
to set this up.
I have all the logs on /var/log and if you want I can email the ones you want for
debugging.
Note: I had a similar report in September but I was not trying to do multipartition.
I am redoing an install now because I messed up the kernel in September, trying to
rebuild it from source because of a VPN client compatibility problem.
Thank you so much again for all this incredible work and results.
Best Regards.

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.
