INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version: beta4 from
  
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta4/

Date: May 2nd through 3rd JST

Method: Boot off from beta4 CD.  Tested 4 installs
with the same machine.
   1. expert(dmesg.2.4)
   2. expert26(dmesg.2.6)
   3. expert then install debian kernel image
2.6.5-1-386_2.6.5-4_i386.deb
   4. expert26 then manually installed kernel source
2.6.5.

Machine: DIY based on Tyan Tiger k8w
Processor: 2 Opteron 240
Memory: 2GB
Description: Primary Master:   Maxtor 80GB
                     Slave:    None
             Secondary Master: LG DVD-RAM
                       Slave:  Yamaha CD-R/RW
             SATA0:            Seagate 160GB
             SCSI MO: IOMEGA Gigamo
             USB Memory: 128MB Stick

Root Device: /dev/hda

Root Size/partition table: Currently hda is
partitioned to install 6 differnt linux in a single
partition.  Also hde is configured to install 4
differnt linux in a single partitions, and 6 different
linux using 3 partitions(/, /var, /usr) each.
I am keeping many partitions in hde to test amd64
linux in different flavors.  But before embarking on
the 64-bit pure or biarch(32 & 64), I would like to
find out current installation problems.
***Please make libata as an option in the coming new
kernel image because current version forces SCSI disk
implementation; thus forcing partitions up to 15 or
16.

Comments/Problems: In essence, d-i team has done an
excellent coordination work.  What I can find as major
bugs can be attributed to discover(the following
1,2,3,4,5), and kernel problems(1,2,6.7).
Also the following dmesg are attached.
   1. dmesg.2.4   booted by expert (I couldn't due to
3 files attach limit, but if needed I will)
   2. dmesg.2.6.3   booted by expert26
   3. dmesg.2.6.5   booted by expert, then installed
debian k-image 2.6.5
   4. dmesg.2.6.5.custom   booted by expert26, then
custom install kernel 2.6.5

Installation summary:
	Unload all IDE chipset support except siimage, and
amd74xx.
	Detect network hardware manually.
	Unload ide-scsi in 2.6 because it is obsolete in
2.6.x
	Install lilo not grub

Problems:
Some of them are obtained by Shift-PageUp/Down at the
start-up screen not through dmesg.
After *** my own work-around is listed.  Some of them
you hate it.
1. Warning only 896MB will be used.
   Use a HIGHMEM enabled kernel.
   896MB LOWMEM available.
	*** Recompile kernel

2. Can recognize 2 CPUs, but refuse to use it.
	*** Recompile kernel

3. Starting PCMCIA services: Linux Kernel Card
Services
     options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
   cardmgr[1718]: no sockets found!
        *** Purge popularity-contest ppp pcmcia-cs
dhcp-client
	# dpkg --purge popularity-contest
	# dpkg --purge ppp pppoe pppoeconf pppconfig
	# dpkg --purge pcmcia-cs
	# dpkg --purge dhcp-client
	# rm -fr /etc/ppp
        Edit discover.conf to comment out both enable
pcmcia, and enable isa

4. Skipping Module e1000. It's already loaded.
	*** Comment out e1000 at /etc/modules	Worked!

5. Detecting hardware: e1000 aic7xxx i810_audio
usb_uhci usb-uhci ehci_hcd
	...
   FATAL: Module usb_uhci not found.
   Skipping usb_uhci module; assuming it is compiled
into the kernel.
   FATAL: Module usb_uhci not found.
   Skipping usb-uhci module; assuming it is compiled
into the kernel.

        *** Edit /etc/discover.conf to append. 
Work-around!
		skip usb_uhci
		skip usb-uhci

6. ** can't synthesize root hub events
	*** hotplug bug

7. Does not recognize SATA disk.
	*** kernel bug!
	But the following debian kernel forces libata versicn
which currently emulate SCSI device; thus effectively
ignoring
partition above 16.

	Install a new kernel.
	# cd /usr/src
	# wget
http://ring.asahi-net.or.jp/archives/linux/debian/debian/pool/main/k/kernel-image-2.6.5-i386/kernel-image-2.6.5-1-386_2.6.5-4_i386.deb
	# dpkg -i kernel*.deb

	Edit /etc/modules to append siimage

Again, thank you for your effort.

Toshikazu Aiyama, Ph.D.

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.
