Comments/Problems:

The whole installer is quite slow compared to the old
one (woody), although it seems that installing the base
system is faster (downloading, extracting and installing
the debs). But it takes often many seconds between two
screens and that is really annoying.

partman is very slow and I could only create an swap,
ext2 or palo partition. No reiser, no ext3, no jfs, no xfs,
although I selected the corresponding udebs. and you
really get crazy while waiting for the next screen (20 or
30 seconds...)

After rebooting the system just hang. The last output was:

---------------------------------------------
[...]

The kernel 2.6 versions of the boot.img didn't work at all.
(Crash before the first d-i screen appears)

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.
