Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, yesterday uname -a: <The result of running uname -a on a shell prompt> (sorry, installation did not work) Date: yesterday Method: How did you install? What did you boot off? If network install, from where? Proxied? I used http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso and tried to boot over network Machine: Toshiba Portege 300CT Processor: 166 MHz Memory: 64MB Root Device: Toshiba IDE 6GB Root Size/partition table: Feel free to paste the full partition table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where. (sorry, the system no longer exists) Output of lspci and lspci -n: (sorry, the installation did not succeed) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [E] My PCMCIA 3Com 3CXSH572BT card was not correctly configured. It did, however, work when I later tried the same installation with the same PCMCIA card and even the same hard disk on a Thinkpad X20. I tried both the 2.4 and 2.6 kernel. I rather think it is a Debian problem, because it worked nicely with SuSE 9.0. 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: [O] Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> Installation failed. The base system was installed. However, of course no further installation could be done, because network wasn't working. There should be a simple way to stop the installer after initial reboot and start it again at a later point in time (when one has corrected the network configuration problem, for example). Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
