Comments/Problems:

While detecting hardware to find CD-ROM drives, the installer loads a
boatload of IDE chipset modules, but no SCSI modules. It does warn me that
some of the modules for my hardware are not yet available to be loaded,
and that continuing with the installation might make them available later.  
One of these modules is sym53c8xx_2, which sounds like it would do the
trick. However, the ncr53c8xx module, which _is_ available at that point,
also works with my hardware. After I "modprobe ncr53c8xx" the installer
finds and mounts the CD-ROM. Maybe this is something that needs to be
fixed in discover-data.

I then continue with the installation until the network setup. I have two
NICs in this machine, one RTL-8139 (PCI), one 3c509 (ISA). The installer
detects the RTL-8139 and offers to load the 8139too module. It then
completely freezes (no response, hard reset required) while trying to load
the module.

Alternatively, if I say don't load 8139too but load 3c509 instead, it will
do so successfully. Then, when it's trying to bring up the NIC for DHCP or
after I enter the network info manually, the installer completely freezes
(no response, hard reset required).

Regards,
Robert

Thanks, closing the bug then.
