Package: installation-reports

Debian-installer-version: netinstall beta3 from www.debian.org
uname -a: Linux amigo 2.4.25-1-386 #1
Date: Right now, 2004/04/17
Method: From a CD/RW with the 109MB netinst package, at this moment 
downloading the rest via FTP.

Machine: Old home-built box
Processor: PII 350
Memory: 192MB
Root Device: 40GB IBM IDE drive, but there is an ADAPTEC7890 SCSI drive with a 
few partitions as well.
Root Size/partition table: 
  hda1: windows fat 1G
  hda2: extended
    hda5: swap 256M
    hda6: / 256M ReiserFS, formatted by sarge
    hda7: /usr/local 5.3G, kept old ext3
    hda8: /usr 3.4G ReiserFS, formatted by sarge
    hda9: /data 28G, kept old ext3
 sda1: windows fat 800M

   sda5: windows fat 1.8G
   sda6: swap 256M
   sda7: /mnt/iso 1.7G, kept old ext3

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!

Regards,

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.
