Comments/Problems:

When rebooting after install GRUB does not work, it prints
  GRUB Hard Disk Error			(FFFF)
That FFFF in top right corner may be from BIOS or something.

I installed with linux26, partition whole disk, all files in one
partition and GRUB in MBR. Also tried making a small /boot and putting
swap first and / to second partition, all with same results,
i.e. reboot fails. 

If I choose to use LILO, the computer reboots and works OK and I can
continue installing more stuff and all things seem to work. Except
on-board Creative VIBRA16X does not work, but I read that installing
isapnptools activates it. I'll try to work with that later. 

I updated the BIOS to latest version, but that did not change
things. Now BIOS is version 1.34, it was 1.31.  

Booted with Knoppix 3.7 to get the lspci stuff and log files. 

I copied the contenst of /var/log/debian-installer to
http://people.debian.org/~tale/vkatu2/debian-installer/

I can keep this host available for more installation tests, if needed,
for lets say until 11th January. If this bug is not interesting, I
would like to take this machine to the end user right away.
 

Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
Once you have filled out this report, mail it to submit@bugs.debian.org.

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.
