Package: installation-reports

Boot method: netinst CD
Image version:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta2/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
Date: July 18 2006

Machine: custom built by myself, MSI MS-7025 / K8N Neo2 Platinum,
Nforce3 250Gb chipset
Processor: Athlon64 3200
Memory: 1GB
Partitions: 
NOTE - one of the problems I have is that the partition table seems
to be corrupted!
NOTE2 - I have windows, Debian Etch AMD64, and I tried to install
Debian Etch x86.  The only partition for the x86 install is
/dev/sda7.

Disk /dev/sda: 300.0 GB, 300069052416 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36481 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Comments/Problems:
I'm not certain exactly where the problem is.  Here's what I did
and what happened.

what I did:
-boot etch beta 2 netinst image, hit enter at boot prompt
-manual partition
-erase existing swap partition, set type ext3, mount at /, format.
-install
-do NOT install bootloader (already have one, I'll add this
partition)
-complete remaining 1 or 2 steps
-once the computer rebooted, I hit the power button - I had other
things to do
----------------
Later
-boot computer, partition table not recognized
-use windows install disk to fix MBR, partition table still
corrupt.

The computer is set up so that when it boots, it first runs the
windows boot menu, and from there I can choose the "Linux" item to
run GRUB.  I used bootpart, http://winimage.com/bootpart.htm, to
add linux to the windows boot.ini.  Could this confuse the
installer?!

I'm proceding with extreme caution.  The partition table is good
enough for both Windows Repair Console and for fdisk/cfdisk, yet
it's not good enough for the BIOS to boot the disk.

The only thing that should've changed with the partition table is
the type of /dev/sda7 - it went from swap to ext3.  I did not
delete or resize the partition.

I'm installing a 32bit version of Debian because of a program which
does not work on 64bit machines.  It requires hard real-time
(RTAI), which apparently does not work under 64-bit yet.

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.
