So I installed onto the VIA ide upgraded the kernel and then moved the drive onto the HPT372. The kernel I used was 2.4.21-pre5-ac3 so once 2.4.21 comes out this problem likely will be resolved. Also on the disk I used (20030304) the install did not save the updated /etc/network/interfaces file. Also that d-i version only supported making ext2 partitions so I had to use the console and use mkfs.ext3. Also mkswap was broken on that d-i revision. Hopefully new images can be created soon, aiui the reason they aren't currently is due to size being over 1440. That is all the errors I can remember that I found, besides various package bugs like Standard or higher packages depending on Optional libs, etc. Overall I can see d-i has made much improvement over the old boot-floppies system that was in use previously. Good Job! Chris Cheney ccheney@debian.org
