Comments/Problems:

- A segfault occurred during grub-install (bugs 293722/293878) and went
unnoticed (bug 295504), causing the initial reboot to fail. I booted
the installed system with noexec=off and ran "grub-install /dev/sda" to
fix it.

- I wanted to configure a RAID-1 across two disks, but needed to start
it in degraded mode because I hadn't yet received the second drive. I
entered "2" as the number of active disks. The active-device-selection
screen claimed "You must select exactly 2 partitions", but this message
was misleading. I selected one partition, and the installer created the
RAID in degraded mode as expected.

- The installer correctly determined the IDE driver for my system
(via82cxxx), but when the installed system booted it was loading a
generic IDE driver first, preventing via82cxxx from claiming the
interface. When I installed a DVD burner, this caused it to operate in
PIO instead of DMA mode (and hdparm was unable to activate DMA),
resulting in slow burning and an unreadable disc. I fixed this by adding
"via82cxxx" to the top of /etc/modules. I've included the dmesg logs
from before and after the fix:

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.
