Comments/Problems:
Initial boot didn't work, because I needed to add "noapic nolapic"
to the install line.
The biggest problem that occured was that I could not type single
characters - the installation programs would type two characters
instead of one. I figured this would be something I could handle
during the install, hoping it went away during the actual installed
system. This resulted in a horrible attempt to partition,
because every enter key would put me to the manual partitioning table
and then right back to the guided partitioning. I went to the
graphical install and then could click continue instead of pressing
enter which worked, but any keyboard input was still being doubled.
I discovered during the selection of tasks through tasksel that mouse
clicks were also doubled (I was unable to remove the "Desktop" task).
(although it doesn't look like it doubles for the "normal" checkboxes,
just the ones in a list)
I also tried plugging in a external USB keyboard but got the same
issues.
I tried booting into expert mode so I could enable the ssh console,
but I could not enable it because when I tried to select it, it would
also deselect it.
I was able to get through everything but the boot loader installation
using the graphical installer.
The trackpad seemed unresponsive and slow while using the GUI
installer.

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.
