Comments/Problems:
The machine is a non-brand pc assembled from parts. It has a CD-rom
drive and a CD-burner, the CD-ROM drive some acts a bit slow on mount,
but should work just fine. The harddrive is connected to the first IDE
channel and the CD-ROM/CD-Burner is connected is on the second on-board
IDE channel as master/slave respectively.

If both CD-burner and CD-ROM are connected i can only boot from the
CD-Burner (slave) for some reason (bios?). If I disconnect the CD-ROM
and boot from CD-Burner the result is the same as below, and the same
goes for disconnecting the CD-Burner and boot from CD-ROM.

My best guess to the error is the "Detect network hardware" step
apparently choking over the on-board NVidia network chip

It has Gentoo Linux installed with kernel version 2.4.20 (which works),
which was used to fill in the above. It uses the NVidia proprietary
network driver.

I tried both RC2 and R3 with the same result:
* I boot the install CD and get past language/keyboard selection and to
the screen "Detecting hardware to find CD-ROM". This screens for about 2
minuts with the "ide-detect".
* After stalling it goes on and ends up crashing a few screens later
(after "Scanning cd-rom", "Loading components of the installer" and
"Detecting network hardware"  i believe) with the "caps lock" and
"scroll lock" keys blinking.

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.
