Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [E]
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [E]
Install boot loader:    [E]
Reboot:                 [E]

Comments/Problems:

The PPPoE option is not proposed by the installer for network configuration. It must be donemanually later on.

The base system install started well, but the finalization raised a kernel panic due to acpi. Ineeded to pass acpi=off to the kernel for the base install to complete.

The boot loader install failed (both grub and lilo) because the kernel file /boot/vmlinuz waslocated too far on the hard drive.

I finally mounted /boot on /dev/sda1, solving this problem.

It would still be nice to have an error message explaining why the boot loader can not install forthis very reason, when it happens.

Anyway, each time I install a new Debian, I am impressed by the installer improvements; thanks forall this work!

Subject: Closing old installation report #289774
From: Christian Perrier <bubulle@debian.org>
Date: Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:57:51 +0000
Message-id: <E1OtBnD-0004RI-RM@ravel.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.
