*** reportbug.txt if I booting the debian lenny net-installer from a compact flash card drive (No USB Card-Reader!) finds the installer not the debian-506-i386-netinst.iso. The flash drive is /dev/hda. (Primary Master on IDE bus) The Installer is located on /dev/hda1. Drive /dev/hda2 should be the installation target for Debian system and is formatted with an ext3 fs. /dev/hdc is a 40 GB HDD with several Partitons and not relevant. First Step: Partitiontable of /dev/hda is: =================================================================== Disk /dev/hda: 4110 MB, 4110188544 bytes 128 heads, 63 sectors/track, 995 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8064 * 512 = 4128768 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 125 503968+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 126 995 3507840 83 Linux =================================================================== Second step: mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hda1 mount /dev/hda1 /mnt cd /mnt wget http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/vmlinuz wget http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/initrd.gz wget http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.6/i386/iso-cd/debian-506-i386-netinst.iso Third Step: Create an extlinux.conf in /mnt: ================================================================== default vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.gz ================================================================== 4rd Step: Make the CF Card bootable: extlinux -i . cd .. umount /mnt dd if=/usr/lib/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/hda 5th Step: reboot. The CF card boots perfectly. I can choose the language and so on. But the installer finds no .iso Image on /dev/hda1! Why ignored the installer /dev/hda??? The installer gziped logfiles are attached.
