package: debian installer
version: n/a
uname -a : Linux (none) 2.6.22-3-486 #1 Mon Nov 12 07:53:08 UTC 2007
i686 unknown
using debian-testing-i386-CD-1.iso downloaded on 5th May 2008
I'm trying to install lenny on my PC with motherboard MSI P35 Neo having
a Marvell 88se6111 chipset on board.
I did find out that this chipset causes some trouble so using the boot
option generic.all_generic_ide=1 should help.
with this information I entered on the boot prompt:
boot: install generic.all_generic_ide=1 (as seen also under help option F6)
installation starts fine. On next screen the following messages is
displayed:
Uncompressing Linux ... Ok, booting the kernel.
Unknown boot option 'generic.all_generic_ide=1 ' : ignoring
....
and it continue display the curses menu: 'language selection' and the
next options till 'detect and mount cdrom' .
As result this causes that the cdrom is not detected and the
installation hangs.
Previously I did try to install debian etch 4.0r3 with the same
parameter, no problems with the boot option metionned above.
But the installation hangs with:
hda: dma_timer_expiry: dma status = 0x24
hda: DMA interrupt recovery
hda: lost interrupt
So I did try to install the latest testing version.
Comments: any work around available?
regards
Bernard

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.
