Base System Installation Checklist:

Reboot: [E]
Comments/Problems:
Unable to mount CD-ROM. I see in the console logging (alt-F4) that the IDE
controller is found, but no devices connected are reported (harddisk and
CD-ROM). So I am not able to find the CD-ROM drive or the harddisk.
hw-detect reports missing modules: ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect,
ide-floppy
After that I tried to load only the ide-generic and ide-disk module in
'expert' mode and this worked. The problem was maybe the PIIX module that
should not be loaded on my system.
After reboot I see in the kernel messages that my IDE controller is accessed
using DMA. Since this older hardware (1994), this certainly does not work. I
added the boot-option 'ide=nodma' in GRUB and this worked.
base-config ran
Congratulations on the dutch translation team: excellent job !!

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.
