Comments/Problems:

The problem is the order in the SCSI chain. The USB key is the first SCSI device during boot, but not on reboot, which is a problem.
After the reboot swap and root partitions are in different places due to USB keychain detected after raid-controller, also at some point
the usb key will be removed. Another problem was, that the aix7xxx driver was tried to load several times (because the raid controller is
such a controller, if it not is raid enabled.) That failed, as it is supposed to, every time. The controller uses the aacraid module, once
raid enabled.

I'm going to try to install from floppies instead now.

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.
