Package: installation-reports
Version: etch
Severity: critical

This report is about current (see email date) floppy installation.
I make 4 installation etch diskettes. All processess after flopy boot works ok, hard drive is detected properly,
partitioning, detect network ok, getting packages from network ok, preparing filesystems
and base installs ok. When is time to reboot after base install, i do it.
After boot system properly boot kernel and initrd, and .... hang. Last kernel message is detect IDE devices
and CD drive. Then system wait for nothing. I can do alt+ctrl+del to reboot, and situation repeat again.
I tryed install, removed all proposed IDE drivers. This not solve my problem.

Installation with sarge/floppy works ok. after reboot system properly continue booting and load
processess to finalize install. After minimal floppy/net install, i can properly upgrade sarge to eth and continue
installation other packages.

With eth/floppy install I have other problems. I cant select pc-style keyboard, this process fails.
Next, I cant select lilo as bootloader. Only grub is selectable. In sarge/floppy I don't have that problems.
I allways select i686 kernel without SMP, to prevent SMP problems.

System specification:
Server Compaq ML370  (without G1,2,3 signature)
Two processors PentiumIII FSB 133MHz, first 933MHz and second 633MHz (for tests, i removed second processor)
Memory, two modules 128MB (summary 256MB) 133MHz with ECC
Compaq Smart Array 3200 Controller with useable for cache 56MB RAM (8MB uses controller firmware)
6 scsi hard drives 9GB 10k RPM, configured as one logical volume, presented to system as one physical drive
/dev/ida/c0d0  , that has standard parition table with nodes
/dev/ida/c0d0p1
/dev/ida/c0d0p2 etc...  this is suported by kernel module cpqarray.
network card supported by kernel module e100 .

Now I'm getting first weekly cd image of etch.
I'll try do install with this medium.

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.
