Comments/Problems:

  | neither system displays tux/penguin.

  | the powerbook prints only the first line "Welcome to Linux ..."

  | the desktop gets just a little bit further, prints 2 short blocks of
  | (normal) diagnostic, then also hang - last line printed is
  | "MMU:exit"

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>
 
  | Very frustrating. i tried to read the updated installation guides, and
  |  got more frustrated.

  | ideas : since i have sarge going on both machines,
  |  what alternatives may i boot the installer ? neither machine
  |  has a working floppy, both dead a long time ago. however powerbook
  |  can boot "virtual floppy" ie RAM DISK. but perhaps other ways
  | 
  |  can i make a partition with /boot and load it with quik ?
  | 
  |  there is discussion in appendix D at end of install guide about
  |  doing a manual install from a working 'nix system, don't know
  |  how out of date the directions are though ...
  |
  | more ideas: is any of that relevant ? if there is something wrong
  | in the kernel or rd setups ? is it possible to install using the sarge
  | installer &/or kernel but using the etch cd for system files ?
  
  |
  |  i can always do the upgrade from sarge routine, although there are
  |  technical barriers, i would rather see this 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.
