Package: Installation
Version: debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso downloaded 28th Nov 2005
I have now tried both the AMD-64 and I386 versions of the installer trying to
install Debian on a box with a DPT (now Adaptec) I2O controller.
The AMD-64 build tries to load the wrong driver, as the dpt_i2o driver does
not exist for AMD-64, rather the more generic and newer i2o_block driver is
needed.
Once the correct driver is loaded the disks will partition apparently
correctly (I have no other machine which will accept these disks so I can
not tell if they have been formatted correctly).
But they will not load.
The i386 script talks about /dev/sda, but there is no such entry in the /dev
tree. The nearest seems be /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1.
If I switch to VC2 and issue the mount command manually I get a
message back saying "mount: Mounting /dev/... on /target failed: Invalid
arguement when I issue the command:-
mount /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 /target
The same if I include -t ext3.
On VC4 there are some errors saying:-
EXT3-FS error (device sda1): ext3_check_descriptors: Inode table for group
9 no in group (block 32780)!
EXT3-FS group descriptors corrupted!
Formatting the disk from VC2 makes no difference, and gives no errors
during the formatting. Waiting for the cache to be flushed after formatting
for some 10s of minutes also makes no difference.
Thanks in advance
David

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.
