Comments/Problems:
At reboot, all appeared OK, started answering questions and giving passwords,
then system suddenly rebooted by itself. After full reboot (by itself) it
went into the questions again, I got a little further (some choices already
there and OK, and I got faster ;-), then again rebooted. This continued for
several times until I managed to get it to the point where it started
downloading (ftp) the package list (?), and it gets to about 25% of the
download completed, then reboots. This is totally repeatable and consistent.
This same computer/motherboard has a previous install (installer TC1) on it,
but on an IDE HD put into this system (installed by a previous MB), which has
been running for weeks rock solid -- it also runs rock solid in this
compter/mb combination. This current computer/mb also runs Win2K on a
partition on the same SATA hd without problems.
It will also do the automatic reboot if I just let this new install sit at the
"welcome" screen. I have timed it and find it takes 52 seconds each time
from the appearance of this welcome screen until it reboots. This was done
several times with exact consistency. (Some sort of timer involved?)
Otherwise, installer did a good job up to this point. The previous TC1
version of the installer ended with error in install of base system each time
I tried it, hence used the latest cvs to try. The previous TC1 version
worked OK on the previous motherboard (which gave me the transplanted hd
installation).
Regards,
Don

hotplug 0.0.20040329-13 contains a fix blacklisting
watchdogs causing an autatic reboot for 2.6 kernels:
look at bug #263556.
this hotplug version got inbetween into sarge.
if you can still reproduce your error with a current
daily build image from debian-installer please reopen.
thanks for your bug report.
