Hi,
trying to install sarge-i386-netinst.iso from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/netinst/i386/20040131/
onto an existing XFS partition (from an old Mandrake install)
by selecting to 'keep existing file system intact' failed.
Here comes an excerpt from /var/log/messages:
...
Using /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-386/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-detect.o
insmod ide-detect

insmod: xfs.o: no module by that name found

...
The failure to load module ide-disk seems to do no harm. The
xfs.o failure however seems to be fatal but is not reported
prominently, so later error messages ('seg fault' or 'no room
left on disk') distract from the real cause.
Replacing xfs with ext2, the install goes really fast and
mostly smooth (more on that separately). I am deeply impressed!
