Comments/Problems:
Installation of initrd failed... red screen... I go back, repartition,
try again... the installer comes back with an option of what kernel to
install. I try both, neither work.
Note: I had previously installed Sarge on this computer with the
pre-Official release sarge net install disk with the newer debian
installer. The current Sarge net-install disk will not install because
of the lack of support for forcedeth on nForce3.
Am currently jigdo'ing the fsn-unofficial etch dvd to see if that will
work.

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.
