Comments/Problems:

Note: I have used the expert installation (the graphical installer was 
broken as reported in #557387)

1) very strange problem with bootloader install
The first time I have try to install Debian all seem to go OK, but when 
I have to install the bootloader (grub) I have an error that say that 
HD0 is not ready. I have finished the installation process with "no 
bootloader" option. After with Debian installer or Knoppix I was unable 
to access the partition I have created and installed with Debian (I 
always use ext3). It look like it was not formatted (very strange). I 
repeat the installation from start (I delete the partition and recreate 
a new one identical to the previous) and this second time all go OK: the 
bootloader install without problem and the system was correctly installed.

I have had the same problem on the first install with an eeepc 1101HA 
and the second install was OK. Here I have used the testing install for 
i386 on a USB stick. Also here I have had the problem with the keyboard 
described in the first point.

2) grub menu
On that PC I have installed grub2 and there is also ms-windows (sigh!). 
In the grub menu was only present the two Debian selection. During 
installation grub has see the ms-windows partition.
I have used
# update-grub2
to solve the problem

Note: in the others installations I have done I don't have a 
ms-partition, so is the first time I had that problem.

Ciao
Davide
