Package: debian-installer Severity: important Tags: squeeze Hello Maintainers,
I have 146 IBM eServer xSeries 335 and they are working fine with Lenny
and Squeeze, but now I have gotten some new ones and failed
1) D-I does not ask me for the firmware of the integrated Broadcom NICs
-> tg3_tso.bin
2) does not ask me for the firmware of the integrated SCSI-Controller
-> LSI 53c1020
$ lsmod |grep mpt

mptscsih 14370 1 mptspi

$ dmesg |grep mpt

2) If I mount the USB-Stick (cellphone or SD card) manualy, D-I detect
it as an install medium and does not bother installing Debian on it.
WTF?
3) D-I can not mount a fresh bought SD card, or USB Stick, because it
want to enforce a superdisk on /dev/sda instead of mounting the
parition /dev/sda1.
However, the previous owner of the server had FC 8 installed on it and
it worked, so why can D-I not load the modules and firmware?
Normaly this bug should be "grave" or even "critial"...
Note: Don't believe, I throw away 400 Servers of a value
of more the 5 mio Euro even if D-I is sick!
Realy, Debian becomes more and more worse!
It was the best server systems and now it degrade it self.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
