Comments/Problems:
The sata_svw kernel module wasn't loaded, so my partitions
didn't appear.  After redetecing hardware they appeared. 
Everthing went smoothly, except it installed a 2.4 kernel! 
After rebooting i was left with the white "Simone" screen.

Booted from a Gentoo CD with root=/dev/sda3.  Got the error
message: /bin/sh: line 1: /dev/tty1: no such file or directory.
 Rebooted in single user mode and created an
/etc/rcS.d/S01mknod with mknod /dev/tty1 c 5 0 in it.  Reboot,
continued installing Debian.  Still getting problems with
respawning /dev/tty3,4,5,6 too quickly.  I can't control-c
anything from console (but i can in Konsole)

Recompiled the kernel using the .config from Gentoo G5-SMP. 
Built and installed a debian package.

Had a small problem configuring X wrt. the BusID.  I may have
entered PCI:0:240:16 instead of PCI:240:16:0.

One persistent problem is lsmod prints this:
Module                 Size  Used by   Not tainted
lsmod: QM_MODULES: Function not implemented.

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.
