Comments/Problems:
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial install.>
Several problems were encountered...the Asus P5K permium wi-fi
motherboard has 6 internal sata ports (ICH9R) and one ide port with two
e-sata (J-micron). The cd would only go through the detect CD stage if
the sata dvd was on sata port 1, I tried it initially on 4 then 3 and it
didnt work.
I next moved to an IDE DVD and got the same problem. I think what was
happening was the cd detection was off looking for a cdrom on the raid
card or adaptec 3940....at each test it locked up the box at 8% but the
scsi hds lights were flashing, each in turn briefly.
When I went back to the sata dvd drive and port 1 on the ICH9R the cd
detect went fine. However I then encountered a terminal issue with the
Megaraid module so was unable to install etch.
I went back to 3.1 netinst cd and installed without issue on a std 2.4
kernel. I then upgraded to etch via apt-get -y dist-upgrade. This ran
fine until I tried to install a 2.6 kernel, then it locked up during
boot at the megaraid_mbox point while looking for disks....something
about aborting and waiting 300secs....over and over.
So this appears to be a problem with the megaraid module in 2.6? I have
also found that any kernel source 2.4.27+ from kernel org fails at the
megraid module also....The debianised kernel source 2.4.27-4 can be
compiled and boots fine....anything else locks out at the megraid
module. The debian stock kernel images 2.4.27-3-386 and 2.4.27-4-686-smp
boot fine as stock kernels.
I also tried kernel 2.6.8 as a kernel.org source, locks out at the
megraid_mbox module, same issue as a stock debian 2.6.x image.
At the moment I am trying to locate a 2.4.36-3 debianised package source
to see if that is compilable and bootable....
regards
Steven

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.
