Comments/Problems:

The sections marked with the * above experienced severe slowdown.  Install was normal up until about halfway through detecting the cdrom.   Then the system appeared to freeze up.  I started to think it had crashed but after about ten minutes it finished with the cdrom detection.  Similar kind of effects during detecting hard drives and installing the base system.  During the base system install the cdrom kept spinning up and spinning down and making some strange noises.  In any case the installer eventually finished without any error messages.  The installation is just fine now. 

This system has two cdrom drives:
/dev/hdd
/dev/sg0
The installation was done from the IDE cdrom because thats the one that is bootable from my BIOS.  I did notice the SCSI activity light was flickering a lot more than normal while the installer was trying to read from the IDE cdrom.  This could have had something to do with the slowdown. 

The SCSI cdrom drive is the only thing that is really unusual about this syste.  There is also an ISA soundblaster AWE32 card in the system.  The kernel doesn't even notice it so I'm sure that had nothing to do with it.

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.
