Machine: Custom machine w/ SuperMicro X6DHE-XG2 (Intel E7520 chipset, ICHR5 SATA controller) 
Processor: Xeon 2.8GHz 800 FSB (1 CPU)
Memory: 1GB
Partitions:
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 38913.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
  (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help): p

Comments/Problems:
Installation works fine, but unable to mount the root filesystem on reboot. Checking /proc/cmdline shows "root=/dev/sda1 ro", which is correct, but no /dev/sda1 exists (/dev/sda exists though).
I'm not savvy enough to know what to do next. I suspect that a required module is not being installed correctly into the initrd image...? 

The last visible kernel messages are:
Begin: Mounting root file system... ...
Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...
ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free.
ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
ide1: I/O resource 0x170-0x177 not free.
ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe
Done.
Begin: Waiting for root filesystem... ...
Done.
      Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
      or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
ALERT! /dev/sda1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

Attached is the syslog file from installation, if that helps.

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.
