INSTALL REPORT

Debian-installer-version:
	Beta2; 18-Jan-2004;
	http://people.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso

uname -a: N/A, didn't get that far
Date: 19-Jan-2004
Method:
	Booted off the netinst ISO and installed from it.

Machine: Sony Vaio PCG-FRV28
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 - 2.8Ghz
Memory: 512MB
Root Device: IDE, single disk on primary controller (/dev/hda)
Root Size/partition table:
	(From memory):
	/dev/hda1 - 5G 'recovery'
	/dev/hda2 - 10G NTFS (WinXP)

	  /dev/hda6 - 3G /usr
	  /dev/hda7 - 1G /var
	  /dev/hda8 - 5G /home

Output of lspci:
	Unfortunately I havn't got it, the install didn't make it far
	enough to where I could get it off using the network.  If I can
	run it from the install CD I could hand copy it, if necessary.

Base System Installation Checklist:

Initial boot worked:    [O]
Configure network HW:   [O]
Config network:         [O] - only eth0 :(
Detect CD:              [O]
Load installer modules: [O]
Detect hard drives:     [O]
Partition hard drives:  [O]
Create file systems:    [O]
Mount partitions:       [O]
Install base system:    [E]
Install boot loader:    [O]
Reboot:                 [E]
[O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it

Comments/Problems:

Alright, first a few bitches:
	- Waiting for DHCP to time out sucked, I know it won't work,
	  eth0 isn't even connected to anything
	- Couldn't configure my wireless card (eth1), though it did
	  appear to be detected and looked operational
	- bash on con2, for whatever reason, stops responding if you hit
	  'alt-1' by accident (like when going for alt-f1 to get back to
	  the installation), this is *very* annoying since you have to
	  restart the install to get a shell to work in, it'd be nice to
	  have a way to forcibly reset the shell or bring up another one
	  or something
	- Every other step it appears to 'detect hardware' or whatever,
	  what's with that?  I don't have a floppy on the machine but
	  every time it takes a few seconds to try and load it.

Now, the big problems:
	- discover just hung for a *long* time (>30 minutes), it was
	  called with 'modules-detect all', iirc.  This was in the
	  postinst of discover after the 'base system' had been
	  installed and it was installing 'extra components', iirc.
	  I didn't see any kernel oops or anything abnormal, and I was
	  able to kill discover off (though it just restarted and got
	  stuck at the same place).  Eventually I just hacked up the
	  postinst to act like it didn't find anything (MODULES="").
	  This got me through the rest of the install and to reboot.
	- On boot, everything looked alright except after saying
	  something like 'lp0: detected blah blah' nothing else showed
	  up.  It looked to have just hung at that point.  Maybe it
	  was trying to load up some framebuffer or maybe X is supposted
	  to start at that point?  I dunno, but I couldn't do anything,
	  none of the other consoles appeared to be up or anything.  I
	  recall being warned that there might be a problem with the
	  current X in Debian and the graphics card in my laptop (ATI
	  Radeon IGP 345M 64MB (shared)), though 4.3 (released *how*
	  long ago?) supports it.  Don't know if that's a problem here
	  or not.

	  Hope this helps, I'm thinking about trying a daily-build or
	  something.  If anyone has any comments/suggestions on things I
	  could try, I'm all ears.  I'd really like to get Debian on the
	  box, and heard d-i was starting to get pretty decent...

	  	Thanks,

			Stephen

As xfree86 and discover1 are both depreceated and not used anymore by the 
installer i am closing this BR.
