Package: installation-reports
Version: rc1
Severity: important
Got the business card ISO ( sarge-i386-businesscard.iso) from
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/
The md5 sum, just in case there is some prob in the image, is
1421c409eacaafcf3c27881dfbbf5e18
The image was burnt on to an ordinary 640/700 MB CD-RW media.
I tried two install; one on my own system, a PIII800Mz, 128MB ram,
20gb seagate hdd and a IDE CDRW of little known make usually detected
as IDE1610 (onsecondary slave).
This attempt aborted, complaining of belng unable to mount the cd.
In normal operation, `dmesg |grep ide' gives :-
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:

Please let me know what further info (and how to find it) is required
to fix it.
The second install was at a friend's place, on a system with nvidia
graphics card, plenty of ram and a powerful processor, (he is an
employee of the dealer for AMD). Sorry, I have no more details of the
hw, (maybe, I can find out when I go there again in another 12 hours
to fix it) except what I give below.
First thing is that the graphic screen does not show on this monitor.
The problem encountered here was that this chap is using a Motorola
Surfboard 5100 (?) USB cable modem (from asianetindia.net). THis
machine has no NIC card. There is no way I can figure out how to get
network over the USB port. (USB devices are well detected here).
I suspect out that even if I get the installer to detect the USB
network, the install scripts might not be configurable to use the USB
connection.
And now, for serious newbie issue - woody installer used to show a
default IP address when NIC cards were installed on the relevant
screen. This installer does not do so.
Also, I could not figure out how to add a local repository on a
filesystem using this image. dunno if this is a bug or feature.
Happy Hacking!!!

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
