Nothing serious (I think), but a bit strange. P1) D-i asks for "Start PC Card services?" three times during the process - one would be more reasonable. The three times are during "Detect and mount CD-ROM", "Detect Network Hardware" and "Detect Hardware", respectively. P2) The four LAN cards have a different naming scheme than under my old (very much updated, but currently 2.6.8 based) debian. Old scheme was eth0 - Realtek PCI card A eth1 - Realtek PCI card B eth2 - Cisco Aironet (mounted on PCI board) eth3 - the on-board connection New scheme is eth0 - the on-board connection eth1 - Realtek PCI card A eth2 - Realtek PCI card B eth3 - Cisco Aironet (mounted on PCI board) =2D the new naming scheme is *also* there when I boot the installed disk! Of course I had to tell d-i to choose "eth1" as "primary network interface" - that's where the cable to the world sits. P3) The partitioning of the disk goes just fine under debian-installer =2D but "parted" (running under the installed system) is not satisfied: "Warning: Unable to align partition properly. This probably means that=20 another partitioning tool generated an incorrect partition table, because it didn't= =20 have the correct BIOS geometry. It is safe to ignore,but ignoring may cause (fixable) problems with some boot loaders." How is it that d-i produces a partition table that parted thinks is incorre= ct? =2D-=20 Peder Chr.
