Comments/Problems:

... Continuation of above "Boot Procedure"...
  - At SILO boot: prompt press [Enter]
  - Kernel error:
      Kernel starts fine!  All joy, until...

    Freeing initrd memory: 2859k freed
    cramfs: wrong magic
    Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
     Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

Ramdisk driver installed okay, detected IDE controller, etc..

Thought may be possibly related to bug #242343.
Cracked open the case, moved the DIMMS from slots 3/4 to 1/2.
Still no luck.

As I tried both the netinst and the business card CDs; and both failed,
i'm assuming it's an installer issue.

Cheers,
Peter Dey

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.
