Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: Debian Wheezy Beta3 Installer Date: 2012-11-04
Machine: ASUS M5A88-V EVO Processor: AMD Athlon IIx4 (640) Memory: 16 GB Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [E] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [O] Comments/Problems: While Squeeze was booting only after some failed tries Wheezy (testing) boots regular (up to now 2 freezes from grub "Loading, please wait". Wheezy runs without serious problems. The only problem is that HDD are running as IDE drives inspite of configuring AHCI in the BIOS main menu. This ist due to an issue of the M5A88-V EVO Bios (in the main menu AHCI is configured while the boot menu displays IDE hardisks); the ASUS support Germany is unwilling to fix this. I shall try to circumvent this problem by creating an apprpriate initrd.
