Comments/Problems:

- NIC is a NE2000 clone sitting on ISA. It was not auto detected.
  Loading 'ne io=0x300-0x31f irq=5' by hand solved the problem.

- BIOS is seriously buggy and will hang upon detecting HDD with a
  capacity>33GB during boot. The HDD was jumpered to lie about its
  real capacity (80GB) to the BIOS. Boot process continued fine, but
  Debian Installer INSISTED on using the fake HDD capacity instead of
  detecting the real one.

- Partitioning of a HDD with incorrectly detected capacity was useless.
As a quick check I tested SUSE9.3 install on this PC. Install went fine with the real HDD capacity detected, however this distro is too bloated to keep it. Esp. on a low-end PC.

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.
