Comments/Problems:
Some modules couldn't be loaded;
Creating the ~20GB JFS partition took more than 1hour, I suspect this is due to too extensive bad-block tests,
Also tried creating an Ext3 partition, it only took a blink;
First I tried the "businesscard" ISO, but the base system installation failed with error 1 (it didn't give any details, not
even related errors on vc/3 and vc/4...), the "netinstall" ISO didn't show this problem;
First I tried to only create a swap and a root partition, root type JFS, and the installer complained that it's likely that GRUB
cannot boot off of a JFS partition, and indeed it had a fatal error installing GRUB, when I created a small Ext3 /boot
partition GRUB installed fine, *BUT* I was previously using GRUB and JFS (my previous Debian install) and GRUB *CAN* reliably
boot from JFS and install itself!;
Also, the partitioner set the type of the swap partition to 0x83, whereas "linux swap" should be 0x82, but this is only a minor problem
Sorry I had to forge my "From: " address because it seems the BTS is crawled by spambots and I got tremendous amouts of
spam on my address I used for reporting bugs :-/
Anyway, thanks! The new Debian installer is great :-)

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.
