Comments/Problems:

I had initial problems with the right tftpd server. While atftpd
is known to work in most scenarios, it produced timeouts in combination
with the HP hardware. tftpd-hpa worked fine.

Installation went till the point of choosing the kernel - which
doesn't seem to depend on initrd-tools, so the kernel installation
failed and I had to reinstall with a manual installation of the
missing package. Additionally kernel-img.conf didn't contain
the "do_initrd=yes" string.

After this, the installation went fine till reboot. Following
hardware detection crashed the machine with loading the de4x5
module which was automatically disabled for the next reboot.

While installing with a serial console, it would be fine to have
the matching inittab line enabled, so that I'm able to use
the machine later on.

Maybe these things are fixed in SVN. Now I've a build system
to create newer images ;-)

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.
