Comments/Problems:

* The X2100 has no PS/2 slots for keyboards, so the only option
  is a USB-based keyboard.  This caused a lot of headaches with the install
  as apparently the 2.6.8 kernel doesn't like quite a few USB keyboards
  (per a Google search).

  On initial bootup, after starting Debian Installer, it appeared I had no
  keyboard support. Unplugging the keyboard and replugging it in caused
  Debian Installer to see it, so I was able to select my language,
  partition drives, et al.

  After the initial reboot, however, I had no usable keyboard once
  grub passed off control to the kernel image.  No combination of turning
  off USB keyboard support in BIOS, or changing USB version numbers,
  replugging the cable, etc,  seemed to work. I assume this is related to
  Debian Installer and grub both using non-HID USB keyboard support provided
  by the BIOS, whereas the installed kernel was using HID devices.

  The only solution I could find was, after the initial reboot, restart the
  server and boot into the Debian Installer. After the installer loaded all
  the modules, I Ctrl+Alt+F2'd into a shell and mounted the existing install
  onto /target. Then I chrooted into /target and apt-get installed ssh. From
  there, I could ssh into the machine and run "/usr/bin/base-config new" and
  continue with the install. Since this will be a headless machine, I'm okay
  with not having console keyboard access. I'm hoping a later kernel upgrade
  fixes this.

* The built-in SATA RAID is software based, so I used Debian's software
  raid support instead.

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.
