Comments/Problems:
<CD failed to detect, even though the install booted from SPROM. Used
modprobe ep to overcome this. Was then prompted for modules to load,
and picked the ones that looked right, that worked fine. My network
card was not detected, so I was prompted to pick one. After a third
guess (it wasn't in dmesg), I went for the LANCE, and this worked.
Partitioning was fine, then I picked a mirror. My screen then went
'Installer blue' and not activity was seen. No progress indicator,
etc. Several ps -ef gave the same results, no 'top' available in
Busybox. Concluded that installer has fallen over, so resumed
installed Sarge :-(. That's about it guys, sorry. BTW, my CDROM is a
Compaq CRD254V, which is fine in Sarge. I filed a bug report sometime
ago for this, but no response from maintainer, yet. Keep up the good
work. Thanks, Chris.>

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.
