I'm having a hard time building from the installer-cd image. I don't think its
a problem with the installer itself, because I have built other boxes with
these images. I'm hoping that someone can find something that I have missed.
My hardware is a VA Linux 2U box (the label says "2200 series"), dual
PIII/750s, 512MB, dual 9GB WD/Compaq SCSI drives.
I have built with the following debian-installer versions: rc1, rc2, 20050213.
rc2 apparently did not load the aic7xxx driver properly, because early in the
install, it would come up with a "no installation media found" error. With
rc1 and 20050213, it detected and loaded the drivers fine.
The problem I am currently having is although the base install goes great, and
I am able to complete the install, including setting up partitions, with no
errors. However, when it tries to do the reboot, it comes up with the
following error:

Anyone seen this behavior before?
