Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD (netinst) Image version: Netinst daily snapshot (2006-08-23) Date: 2006-08-23 13:08
Machine: MacBook (White) Processor: Intel Core Duo 2.0Ghz Memory: 512MB (2x256) Partitions: unable to type command (see below) Output of lspci and lspci -n: (see below) Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [E] 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: [E] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Initial boot didn't work, because I needed to add "noapic nolapic" to the install line. The biggest problem that occured was that I could not type single characters - the installation programs would type two characters instead of one. I figured this would be something I could handle during the install, hoping it went away during the actual installed system. This resulted in a horrible attempt to partition, because every enter key would put me to the manual partitioning table and then right back to the guided partitioning. I went to the graphical install and then could click continue instead of pressing enter which worked, but any keyboard input was still being doubled. I discovered during the selection of tasks through tasksel that mouse clicks were also doubled (I was unable to remove the "Desktop" task). (although it doesn't look like it doubles for the "normal" checkboxes, just the ones in a list) I also tried plugging in a external USB keyboard but got the same issues. I tried booting into expert mode so I could enable the ssh console, but I could not enable it because when I tried to select it, it would also deselect it. I was able to get through everything but the boot loader installation using the graphical installer. The trackpad seemed unresponsive and slow while using the GUI installer. -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
