uname -a: - Date: 28. Dec 2004 Method: network install via rbootd Machine: HP apollo 715/50 Processor: 50 Mhz Memory: 32 MB Root Device: 1 GB SCSI Root Size/partition table: 100 MB swap, 15 MB PALO, 900 MB / (ext2) Output of lspci and lspci -n: - 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: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] very very slow! Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [E] Comments/Problems: The whole installer is quite slow compared to the old one (woody), although it seems that installing the base system is faster (downloading, extracting and installing the debs). But it takes often many seconds between two screens and that is really annoying. partman is very slow and I could only create an swap, ext2 or palo partition. No reiser, no ext3, no jfs, no xfs, although I selected the corresponding udebs. and you really get crazy while waiting for the next screen (20 or 30 seconds...) After rebooting the system just hang. The last output was: --------------------------------------------- [...] RAMDISK driver initialized: 16 RAM disks of 8192K size 1024 blocksize loop: loaded (max 8 devices) Found i82596 at 0xf0826000, IRQ 87 82596.c: MAC of HP700 LAN read from EEPROM eth0: Couldn't get consistent shared memory eth0: 82596 at 0xf0826000, 08 00 09 78 5A E5 IRQ 87. 82596.c $Revision: 1.32 $ --------------------------------------------- The kernel 2.6 versions of the boot.img didn't work at all. (Crash before the first d-i screen appears)
