Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: 09-15-2003 http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/sarge-i386-netinst.iso uname -a: 2.4.20-1-386 Date: 9-15-03 10:30 Method: How did you install? What did you boot off? If network install, from where? Proxied? Booting from CD. I used the "net" method. Machine: Thinkpad T30 Processor: 1.8GHz Pentium4 Memory: 768MB Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: Feel free to paste the full partition table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where. Output of lspci: Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] 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: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: As with 'linux' install, the net install only has e100. However, it seems to get much futher more easily. The display works ok for starters, although the # char scroll bar is not displayed correctly. Detect hardware and load kernel still results in error messages on VC4 about missing eepro100 and orinoco_pci drivers. But no user messages are sent back. Installing the base system worked, but VC4 showed a whole pile of messages from the installer: WF: Retrying failed download of %s I tried to install grub as the bootloader without sucess. There are a bunch of syslog errors on VC4 during this operation. VC3 has: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time. Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device. On VC4: end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 0 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 2 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 4 end_request: I/O error, dev 02:00 (floppy) sector 6 My machine only has a CD installed - the ultrabay floppy is currently not in the machine. I then tried installing LILO, which went perfectly. Until I rebooted and system got as far as printing "Booting the kernel" and doing a warm reboot immediately.
