Package: debian-40r3-sparc-CD-1.iso installation-reports

Boot method: Installing CD #1 over 9600 modem (not finished)
Image version: debian-40r3-sparc-CD-1.iso
Date: 27.02.08

Machine: SUN Enterprise 420R
Processor: 4x450
Memory: 3GBy
Partitions: some Debian Partitioning proposed by the installer

Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: ???

Base System Installation Checklist:
[E] = Error

Initial boot: [ok]
Detect network card: [yes 2x, also USBs and AUX]
Configure network: [should be auto-DHCP but no success]
Detect CD: [yes]
Load installer modules: [yes]
Detect hard drives: [yes]
Partition hard drives: [yes]
Install base system: [no]
Clock/timezone setup: [? only US proposed]
User/password setup: [E "2 times wrong"]
Install tasks: [no]
Install boot loader: [no]
Overall install: [aborted by operator]

Comments/Problems:

I tried to install over the serial - modem line. After 9 hours (!) of mousing arround and getting
more and more slower, the installer said: " This could lead to an unbootable system"
and then "Password 2 times wrong". - then I aborted.

> This System has no screen and no DVD, so I think it is a good idea to install
CD #1 over a simple 9600-Modem line but the installer has to many screen-codes.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>

I think the user-friendlyness has its limits. Is there anybody who really wants
a "save", "friendly" and "guided" installation process to install Debian on an
enterprise - server?
Thanks for providing Debian-Sparc
demotu

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.
