installation problem with initramfs-tools
I am trying to install the etch version of Debian on a
recently purchased HP Pavillion machine (it has a hard disk
that the sarge installer doesn't recognize).
I downloaded the first CD image and booted the installer.
The partitioning and other steps seemed to be all right. During
the base install:
(1) I was asked to pick a kernel, and chose the default
linux-image-2.6-486
(2) Various successful install messages were displayed
until it said there was a problem with initramfs-tools.
I was referred to console #4, which displayed in part:
> Errors were encountered while processing:
> console-tools
> console-common
>
> subprocess /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code ()
I hope there's a quick fix. I could not get the installer to
continue past this error message.
