Package: installation-reports Version: Lenny installer RC1 businesscard ISO from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso
Method: burned ISO to CD and booted from CD Machine: ancient home-built machine with QDI Legend V motherboard Processor: Intel Celeron (Covington) 266MHz Memory: 640MB Hard disks: Hitachi/IBM Deskstar 40GB Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it CD booted ok and installer started, kernel and initrd load ok but kernel hangs with the following message: (after ACPI, floppy, IDE and USB messages) "Marking TSC unstable due to: TSC halts in idle." This error is 100% reproducible on every attempt. Googling it seems to indicate that it's something to do with udev, which would make sense: last time Debian was installed on this machine, udev didn't exist (kernel was 2.6.8). Any tips? Is there a kernel parameter I can use to avoid this error? Regards, CC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
