Package: installation-reports

Boot method: CD
Image version: Daily bizcard image downloaded on May 10 from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-businesscard.iso

Memory: 1GB


Output of lspci and lspci -n:
No way to copy/paste this, sorry.

Base System Installation Checklist:
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Detect CD:              [ O ]
Load installer modules: [ O ]

Comments/Problems:

Initial boot works, although I have to use "video=ofonly".  That's
fine, but the video is then right-sifted by approximately 1/2 the
screen.  That is, the text that should really be on the far right of
my monitor, wraps around and is displayed on the left side.  This is
on a CRT monitor using the ADC port on my video card.

The background for the menus is red instead of blue.

My harddrive is not detected so I am unable to partition.  lspci shows:
0001:11:04.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic
53C896/897 (rev 07)
0001:11:04.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic
53C896/897 (rev 07)

Let me know if I can provide further debugging information.



Paul.

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.
