Comments/Problems:
Initial attempts with no boot options almost worked, but gave many IRQ 
errors, leaving the system unusable. After some research I found the 
"irqpoll" boot option, which worked at the cost of some performance. 
This system did not need the generic.all_generic_ide=1 option. 

I also tested two live Linux CDs with later kernels. Both Knoppix 5.1.1 
(i386 kernel 2.6.19) and BlueWhite64 (amd64 2.6.20) work fine without 
additional boot options.

This is a new system with Intel Core2Duo E6300 cpu on an MSI P965 Neo-F 
motherboard, 250G SATA hard drive connected to ICH8 south bridge and IDE 
DVD-RW drive connected to JMicron JMB361 IDE interface. Trying the expert 
install option made no difference. Without irqpoll the installer often 
failed to find the hard drive.

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.
