Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/current/ on 9-Oct-04 and the i386 netinst CD image with Debian base on http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ uname -a: could not get there! Date: 9-Oct-04 till now (still trying) Method: I booted from the CD and didn't need the network in phase 1. could not get to phase 2
Machine: Toshiba Satellite A70 Processor: Intel Pentium 4 Mobile (with HyperThreading) Memory: 512 Root Device: hda (hda1: WindowsXP, hda2: debian, hda3: swap) Root Size/partition table: hda1: ~15GB, hda2: ~24GB, hda3: ~1GB Output of lspci and lspci -n: no running system 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: [ O] 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: [ E] Comments/Problems: Phase 1 goes well. After reboot, boot starts until the point where it says: hda: IC***** (looks like harddrive model) HARD DISK drive cannot handle kernel request ... eip:*** (long list of register values) Segmentation fault <6>Journalled *** loaded pivot_root: No such file or directory /sbin/init: 426: cannot open dev/console: No such file kernel panic: Attempted to kill init! using linux26 hangs the system upon reaching the first dialog in the installer (the language selection). I had to use vga=771 at booting from the installer CD or I have no display. I tried to use the woody netinst CD image and it worked fine (kernel 2.2 though). But once I upgraded the kernel to 2.6.8-686-smp, the system booted completely and presented a login prompt but was not responding at all. Now I wasn't sure is it not responding or is the keyboard not working! Honestly I could not tell as I didn't thing of any way to tell!!! (can provide more details if needed) BTW, I managed to use debian-installer on Toshiba Satellite M30 but with no other OS (only debian, no WinXP: hda1: debian, hda2: swap). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
