Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [o] Detect network card: [o] Configure network: [E] Could not connect to Wavelink Router via DHCP, Static IP worked. Detect media: [o] Load installer modules: [o] Detect hard drives: [o] Partition hard drives: [o] Install base system: [E] Could not verify system name Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: It seems that it could not verify that this was RC1 Trixie. Went back to Bookworm standard install and it sailed through the network setup.. <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> The WPSK wifi setup could not connect to my Wavelink Halo X2 rev B Router running DHCP using either wireless password option using the "automatic setup" option. I reconfigured the network install to use a static ip address and it sailed right through the network setup. Got through the install to finishing up the hard drive partitioning. It appeared to complete that and then announced it could not verify the system name. I tried twice and it appeared that it was trying to verify it was Trixie RC-1 and not Bookworm which failed. I was unable to get past this. I fell back to the standard Bookworm network install which showed the same network bump and sailed all the way through to completing the install. Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the installer system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system under /var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip. I never got this far in the install process. I have no idea how to find the install log in any event. One of the things that amazes me is that the install process in Debian assumes a level of user understanding that is well beyond the average user. The expectation that a normal user understands the difference between the types of wireless password encodings (three different choices) and also what disk partitions are (and how to set them up) with the real possibility that they could destroy their installed other system suggests that this installer is not directed at most people. It would be perhaps a good idea to see if you can figure out how to simplify the wireless setup and disk setup. In any event perhaps a "protect my existing system and data" install mode might be worth considering. I realize that it is tough to find an installation process that both covers an extremely wide variation in hardware systems and still keeps the process simple so I applaud how well the installer works and hope that it will continue to improve.
In the bug report, describe what the problem is, including the last visible kernel messages in the event of a kernel hang. Describe the steps that you did which brought the system into the problem state.
