Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal


I installed from the debian-installer CD-ROM downloaded today. It recognised
the disks in this machine and installed fine.

But when it came to reboot it failed in the initrd with the following error:

sym53c8xx: at PCI bus 0, device 6, function 0
sym53c8xx: not initializing, device not supported
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx.o: init_module:
No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
      You may find more information in syslog or the outpSCSI subsystem
driver Revision: 1.00
ut from dmesg
/lib/modules/2.4.27-1-generic/kernel/drivers/scsi/sym53c8xx.o: insmod
sym53c8xx failed
Journalled Block Device driver loaded
pivot_root: No sKernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
uch file or dire ctory
/sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file


It looks like the wrong SCSI module is being loaded. I'm not sure which one
it's supposed to be but it might be the similarly named ncr one - I can do
more investigation on this if you need to know for sure. But the installer 
seemed to find the right one when it was soing its stuff so someone knows
which one was needed :-)

Version: 0.1.84.2+rm

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
