Comments/Problems:

 * I used LVM guided partioning, with seperate /var, /usr, /home, etc.

   The target drive had an existing LVM setup which I wanted to replace which
   partman correctly identified and refused to continue. However, the message
   displayed didn't seem to indicate how to proceed within d-i, so I removed
   the LVM stuff on another tty and continued.

   (Hrm, I can't seem find the string again right now :s)

 * I was offered the installation of GRUB2 over grub-legacy, but installation
   failed. I was installing Etch, so I'm not sure why I was presented with
   this.

 * Upon reboot, the kernel decided that /boot--previously on /dev/sda1--was
   now located at /dev/hdg1. This didn't actually cause a boot failure, but
   bootup was interrupted by fsck (a la "Press CTRL-d to continue") as the
   drive did not exist.

   Using e2label and editing /etc/fstab to match fixed this, but are there
   plans to adopt labels/UUIDs when partioning?

 * I then installed the Etchnhalf kernel in addition to Etch's 2.6.18,
   followed by an attempted installation of ia32-libs. However, this failed
   due to insufficient disk space.

   I already posted my comments regarding the rather tight fit on "/" to
   #431296. Perhaps this comment can act as a friendly reminder for
   interested parties to respond there? :]

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.
