Comments/Problems:

Both auto- and manual partitioning failed in the same way.  After choosing to 
write the partition table, I get this message:

| [!!] Partition disks |
Failed to create a file system
The ext3 file system creation in partition #1 of IDE1 master (hda) failed.

Associated with this, I see a new message at the bottom of dmesg's output:

/dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: unknown partition table

The partition table is supposed to look like this:

IDE1 master (hda) - 4.3 GB Fujitsu MHF2043AT
	#1 primary     4.1 GB  :-)  ext3   /
	#2 logical 224.5 MB  :-)  swap  swap

Note that I first tried #2 as a "primary" partition.  I also tried ext2 
instead of ext3.  In the case of ext2, I get a superficially different error 
message:

| [!!] Partition disks |
The attempt to mount a file system with type ext2 in IDE1 master, partition #1 
() at / failed. 

Notes: I am not sure yet that the network hardware configuration worked 
properly, although there are no errors.  I am using a 10-base-T US Robotics 
PCMCIA card (I think the USR 2410?), which is identified as a Prism 
I/Intersil.  The default network configuration didn't work, so I did a manual 
config without DHCP, which allowed me to proceed.

Hi,

Thanks for your report.
Closing as it's an installation report from a debian installer (and
kernel) version which isn't supported anymore.
Feel free to test and report any issues against the current debian
installer release (Squeeze RC1) which supports more hardware and also
it's improved.
Thanks!
