Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux sarge!

Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel

ok
If I install Debian stable, I have no problems. Debian stable uses
kernel 2.4.18 and does not use initrd images. The problem seems to
be with kernel images that use initrd.
If you need any more information, or have stuff you would like me to
try out, please do email me and let me know what you want to try.
I really would like to have Debian/Sarge running rather then woody
or NetBSD for that matter (which is the other system that boots up
_and_ lets me use X11, but that is another story).
cheers,
mehul

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.
