Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: RC2 built 18/11/04, from Debian website uname -a: <The result of running uname -a on a shell prompt> Date: 17:00 27/2/05 Method: boot+root+net driver floppies, http download of 'testing'
Machine: desktop Processor: Athlon XP 1900 Memory: 512 MB Root Device: Maxtor 4080M0 on SiI3112 Root Size/partition table: didn't get to reading disk 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: [E] Detect hard drives: [E] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Initially reported many drivers unavailable, later downloaded sata_sil, siimage, etc. Still reported unable to find a number eg via_ircc (VT8235 ISA bridge), ide-mod, ide-floppy, ide-cd, ... Paused for several minutes loading ide-detect, partitionning program hung "scanning disks". Moving to console, cfdisk says unable to access disks, fdisk says cannot open /dev/hda or /dev/sda. Is loading both siimage and sata_sil likely to cause problems (should I tell the installer not to load the former?) Is there anything special I need to do to get the installer to work with an SiI3112-attached disk drive? Webpages seem to imply that the 2.4.27 kernel should just do it... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
