Comments/Problems:
First installer complained about not being able to load ide-scsi module
(IIRC). However, that didn't matter. Partition also went just fine until I
tried to use LVM. It didn't work - with kernel 2.4 based (default) method
I couldn't even create volume groups. Installed said it didn't have the
correct module on the system, even though I _did_ install lvmcfg. To be
sure, I rebooted the system and loaded all the optional modules I could
load.
Next I tried using 2.6 based system. Now I could create volume groups as
well as logical volumes, but 'install base system' stage failed because it
was unable to install kernel package to the system.
I circumvented the problem by installing Debian to plain ext3 partitions
and after installing the most basic system I created LVM stuff
manually. Except for the LVM installer worked just fine.

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.
