My install of Debian 505 AMD64 failed because of a busybox error. The installation procedure wouldn't go beyond this error, for standard install or expert install. It failed on the netinst disk as well as the CD-1 disk. The error message in syslog says nothing helpful about the error.
I don't think that this installation failure has anything to do with the AMD64
version of Debian. Therefore I'm going to post this on the i386 list as well,
after I try the i386 installation.
Regards
