Comments/Problems:

Actually I'm not quite sure which step in the list
above represents where my installation failed.

This does not have to be an error but it sure stopped
me from completing the installation: The installation
recognized my two networkcards (via rhine and sis900)
but said those drivers weren't available and I had to
install them from a driver-disc. Unfortunately the
documentation wasn't very forthcoming on how to make a
driver disc and neither was anyone I could find on
IRC.

I'm not exactly sure how to describe this step but
it's basically a progress bar working its' way across
the screen while hardware detection is being done: It
took a very long time to get by "Linux IDE detect" and
when it finally did the progress bar moved an inch
only to pause again while trying to detect my cdrom
drive (which I find odd since it obviously had no
problems booting from it).

When finally getting to choose installation medium the
network option wasn't available and the CDs I put into
the cdrom drive couldn't be detected.

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.
