Package: installation-reports Version: 20040101 (Another proper installation report that I should have done before.)
Debian-installer-version: From http://people.debian.org/~manty/testing/netinst/i386/daily/, dated 2004-01-01, used sarge-i386-netinst.iso Date: Morning of Jan. 2 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: (Again, should be deja vu for those on the debian-boot mailing list. Sorry.) When I attempted to install with the 2004-01-01 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> seems to vary depending on my input at the "boot:" prompt. If I just press Enter, then <FOO> is "bterm-unifont". If I type "linux ide=nodma" and then press Enter, <FOO> is "base-installer". To ensure that the problem was not with the CD-R that I burned, I recreated the ISO from the CD-R with the command "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/copy-of-sarge-i386-netinst.iso". The MD5SUM of this ISO was the same as that of the original, and the diff command reported no difference between the original ISO and the one created from the dd command. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
