Debian-installer-version: 20040814 uname -a: Linux gleep 2.4.26-1-386 #1 Thu Jul 22 12:46:23 JST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux Date: Sun Aug 15 18:47:13 CEST 2004 Method: cdrom install with netinst image downloaded today (points to 20040814 ) from http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/daily/i386/current/sarge-i386-netinst.iso Machine: PC Processor: Pentium2-400 Memory: 128MB Root Device: 20GB IDE, 18GB SCSI Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [E] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [E] Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: Config network failed to setup via DHCP, since my DHCP server was not configured for this machine. I tried manual setup, entered all information, but the installer tried to use DHCP again, which failed again. So I came back to manual setup, entered all information, but the installer used DHCP... After I setup my DHCP server to give out an IP for this host, the installer accepted my manual setup. I have an IDE and a SCSI harddisk in my system. I wiped out the SCSI disk and installed Debian there. When the boot loader was installed, it wrote the boot block on the IDE disk, not giving me any chance to write to the SCSI disk instead. Maybe this is the right thing, the machine boots, since it tried to boot from IDE first, but since Debian is installed on the SCSI disk, it would be nice to have the option to install grub on the SCSI disk, in case I remove the IDE disk or change the boot order. I have never used grub before, I do not see a config file, how do I tell grub now to write the MBR to sda? I can not mount the CD-Rom. mount /cdrom can not find /cdrom. /media/cdrom does not work either, /media/cdrom0 say the mount point does not exist. /media/cdrom is a link to cdrom0, but this does not exist, which is what gnome tells me when I try to mount the CD-Rom from gnome. Other than that, the install worked perfectly. Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
