Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.45
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When I tried the graphical install, it just hang.
So I continued with the non-graphical install.
After partitioning (choosing btrfs for all but the swap partition),
when installing the base system the root partition almost immediately
gave I/O errors.
So I went back and chose ext4 for all partitions instead.
The configuring bootloader step (grub2 in my case) failed without
obvious error message, so I went back, opened a console and fixed it
manually. Only choosing continue without boot loader did work from
there.
Afterwards I had problems with the new gnome-shell, only the fallback
works. But that has probably nothing to do with the installer.

Comments/Problems:
Obviously the OKs after the Errors only happened when I worked around them.
Like I said above, the graphical installer just hang after choosing
it. I had to do a hard reboot to get back to the installer.
I chose to use LVM. The boot partition was always plain ext4. When I
chose btrfs (on LVM) for all other partitions (except swap), the base
install spawned a gazillion I/O errors for the root partition. So I
went back and chose ext4 (on LVM) instead.
When configuring the boot loader (grub2), it showed me a progress bar
and almost immediately a red message telling me it failed. So I went
back, chose to open a console where I did the following:
# chroot /target
# update-grub
inspected the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
# grub-install /dev/sda
# ^D
# exit
Then I chose to continue without bootloader and it rebooted fine in
the installed system.
Cheers
Luk

Graphical install issues were recently fixed: no mouse/keyboard response
as well as the black screen issue.
BTRFS errors were fixed with the recent inclusion of the
linux-image-3.2.0-2 kernel.
Although this is fixed there are still other problems with BTRFS
installation with d-i (grub-installer). See bugs #666559 and #662086.
