Comments/Problems:
Two issues so far:
- on the reboot, the SCSI disk was not found at the time all filesystems
were checked and mounted, because the adaptec module did not load yet. A
simple mount -a after a continue did work fine. I am not sure how to solve
that in a more final way yet.
- the rest of the installation complained that the installation of some
packages failed. In effect, nothing was installed. After some tries I could
just make out that /var/cache was not big enough to receive the selected
packages for installation. I managed to solve that by relocating /var/cache
to /data/var/cache, but I think this should be noted earlier, or solved more
gracefully by looking for another place to put these temporary files if /var
is on a too-small root.
Fabulous tool! I am sure this installation set will make debian/gnu a winner!

Rob Hooft

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.
