Comments/Problems:
I am trying to reinstall an existing Debian system. The previous run of dselect broke it, to the extent that the kernel could not find /sbin/init and none of the previous kernels worked either. The system was originally installed using a netinst CDROM.
Despite the fact that my system is using what is now a relatively well known Intel motherboard, the netinst could not find CDROM drivers. The CDROM is a standardr IDE CDROM, designed by Toshiba/Samsung, model SH-C522. The motherboard is an Intel 955 chipset board, model type D955XBKLKR. 

The installer was also unable to find network drivers for this board.
I have previously been able to install to this combination of board and CDROM using netinst, so this fault represents a regression.
I have also found it impossible to use netinst on an Intel DX38 with a Core Duo 6850, and ended up having to install Ubuntu instead in that case.
I have every expectation of having to go for an Ubuntu installation again this time, which I don't really want to do as it then causes trouble later when I try to install qmail.

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.
