26th pass at installing 11-3, fails

[gene heskett <gheskett@shentel.net>]

Hello all;

I have now made two passes at posting a screenshot of the partitioner 
menu screen, showing that it does not even see the drive I want to use.  
It also shows 3 copies that make no sense as they are all called by the 
same name as SCSI7. they might be the raid, but that is 4 drives, not 3.

Posted once as the original .png of 81k, that didn't get thru the server, 
then I loaed it up in gimp and smunched it down to about 51k, ugly but 
still readable, and thats not made it thru the server either.

So 26th reinstall attempt, following David's instructs to do an ssh from 
another machine to install, after it froze up with under 2 days uptime.

I've also found that its /dev/sdd for this bootup with 90% of the usb 
stuff unplugged.

This reinstall driven by an x crash, the mouse and gkrellm were still 
alive, the mouse pointer moved but no button clicks worked. A logout 
worked, but logging back in, it was still frozen up. So I rebooted to the 
d-i and following David W. instructs, got to the partitioners menu & 
discovered it not one had sdb from a different drive now, but the drive I 
want to use is completely missing from the choices listed. Hence the wish 
to post the snapshot since I'm catching it from everybody by not showing 
it.

So, how to I do a text copy/paste from thart .png so I can insert the 
cogent parts of the text in an email msg?

Thanks all.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
