Package: installation-reports
Boot method: network
Image version: http://people.debian.org/~dannf/d-i/images/daily/netboot/netboot.tar.gz

I used the netboot install method for three different machines.
For the RX6600 (8-core Montecito) everything worked fine (apart from the
relatime bug that everyone knows about, and that you can't specify
options to mkfs.xfs to tune it for bigger partitions: I just created a
small root partition, and made the other partitions manually after
installation was finished)
For the RX2200 (two-core McKinley) the kernel hangs halfway through the boot;
it appears to have done something dastardly to the console (I'm telnetting
in through the management console ethernet adapter). The only way to
restore console access for the next boot is to remove the power cable
from the wall; resetting the machine and the BMC is not sufficient.
The last thing on the console is:
-----
0000:e0:01.1: ttyS3 at MMIO 0xf4050000 (irq=51) is a 16550A
Couldn't register serial port 0000:e0:01.1: -28
RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 4096K size 1024 blocksize
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
TCP bic registered
NET: Reg
------
For an i2000 (Merced), running on the VGA console, the initial splash
screen looks awful ... it seems to have lots of weird characters that
don't display on it. And the kernel seems to hang straight after
elilo has loaded 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.
