Comments/Problems:
A series of error messages are given during boot:
"end_request: I/O error, dev 03:00 (hda), sector x"
for sectors 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14 followed by
" unable to read partition table"
just before messages from usb.c. Also after "VFS: Mounted root (cramfs
filesystem)" I get five lots of
"Unimplemented SPARC system call 188"
then "hda:attached ide-disk driver"
None of this seems to be a problem and everything works as expected.
HTH,
Cheers,

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.
