Package: installation-reports Version: 20031231 Okay, *now* I'm doing the proper installation report that I should have done before.
Debian-installer-version: From http://people.debian.org/~manty/testing/netinst/i386/daily/, dated 2003-12-31, used sarge-i386-netinst.iso Date: Morning of Jan. 1 Method: Booted sarge-i386-netinst.iso Processor: AMD Athlon 1000MHz Memory: 512MB Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [E] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: (Should be deja vu for those on the debian-boot mailing list. Sorry.) When I attempted to install with the 2003-12-31 netinst CD, not long after I did the language selection, I got an error message like this: "The integrity check for <FOO> failed. It is most likely corrupt. Aborting." After that, I was able to reboot and get back to my old system. <FOO> varies a bit. On one attempted install, it was "base-installer"; on another "baseconfig-udeb"; on still another "bterm-unifont." I thought the problem might be DMA-related, because I have an older 8x CD-ROM that, though otherwise reliable, does screwy things when DMA is enabled for it. However, starting the install by typing "linux ide=nodma" at the "boot:" prompt did not change anything. I burned the sarge-i386-netinst.iso onto two different CDs. Both yielded the same results. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Find out what made the Top Yahoo!
