I'm using "sarge-i386-netinst.iso" downloaded the 15 december 2004.
I have tryed almost all posibilities on boot command prompt, linux,
expert, linux26 and expert26. All with the same result, I can install
but even GRUB or LILO can't boot the system after reboot.
GRUB says,
GRUB Loading stage1.5.
GRUB loading, please wait...
and stays there;
and LILO says,
LI 99 99 99 99 99 99 ...
Since in the installation process with expert or expert26 I get the 
following message while
detecting hardware.

*******************************************************************
Unable to load some modules
Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not
available yet. Simply proceeding with the install may make these modules
available later.
The unavailable modules, and the devices that need them are:
i810-tco (Intel corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Bridge),
ide-scsi (Linux IDE-SCSI emulation layer), ide-mod (Linux ide driver),
ide-probe-mod (Linux ide probe driver), ide-detect (Linux ide
detection), ide floppy (linux ide floppy).
*******************************************************************
The message of debian-installer while installing GRUB is:
"Installing GRUB on (hd0)..."
With a previous version of debian installer I was uanble to see the
disks.
I wish that this information would be useful.
Thanks
Mauro Casse
