No, John, it doesn't. The errors are being made prior to installation. I previously used something to copy these logs to a pastebin while I was installing, this was done somewhere around the time of package selection because networking was running.
There was some screen where I could get these errors because I had been told they would be lost otherwise because they were prior to the installer writing to the mounted partition. At the time of the errors I have no system running, only the installer, there are no consoles with bash running, only busybox. If you don't know the answer, that's fine, but can you direct me to someone who does? I remembered the person who told me what to do to get this hidden menu where I can hopefully send up into a pastebin the errors or maybe even correctly select my sound card. I haven't tried it, and I have no idea why this isn't documented because I've never seen it except this person knew about it. Here's what I found out. It might be that this selection is available but I couldn't find it and I've been asking you and perhaps you don't know about it, but here it is. I still don't know if this will do what I did before to save files before the installation because the installation is successful, but the installation is also inaccessible. Here it is: You will need to go into the numbered menu during install. At the boot prompt before any speech comes up: 1) hit a then hit enter, 2) hit s then hit enter, 3) hit x then hit enter. Once that's done pick your sound card and after that you should hear a screen with a numbered menu on it. You need to set message priority to low which asks the most questions once done. You also want to choose save log files and store those on disk. All of those log files left on /mnt will need to be sent to debian-boot in order for you to get some help. I do this routinely whenever doing a debian install simply asa defensive measure. You get the numbered menu by hitting the < sign at prompts until the numbered menu shows up. That'll have about 25 choices in it and hitting enter in that menu does the next default part of the installation. You likely will get into the numbered menu after networking gets set up. Thanks, David
