Comments/Problems:
It does not stop right away.
I get through the very first steps:
CD-boot: OK
Choose language: OK
Select a Keyboard Layout: OK
Detecting hardware (1): OK
Loading component of debian installer: OK
Detecting hardware (2): Broken
The second 'Detecting hardware' sequence just stops at 95%. The
last message is skipping unavailable module 'IDE-floppy' for
'Linux IDE floppy'".
After ~30 sec the machine just powers off.
The 'net' (right at the lilo prompt) install worked until
last week. Now I get with the beta2 installer some
'tar: unregognized file type' error after fetching
the packages from the debian mirror (any).
The 'daily-build' installer does not provide a 'net'
install at the lilo prompt.
Right now there is no way to get a sarge system on
this machine.
regards,
johannes
