Package: installation-reports INSTALL REPORT
Debian-installer-version: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta-1/sarge-i386-netinst.$ Modify Date on the .iso was 2003-11-09. uname -a: Linux (none) 2.4.22-1-386 #9 Sat Oct 4 14:30:39 EST 2003 i686 unknown Date: 2003-11-12 Method: boot from cdrom Machine: Dell Latitude CPiA laptop Processor: Intel Mobile Pentium II Memory: 128Mb Root Device: IDE, hda Root Size/partition table: irrelevant Output of lspci: not found Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [E] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Major problem was bad symlinks on the installation .iso. This may be my fault, I have filed the details separately. The installation sticks at this point, it keeps returning to red-background error screen, with the message "No installer components found" A separate problem: The keymapping for en_AU is defaulting to dvorak. It may be an off-by one indexing error (dvorak comes right after British English in the list). But I think American English is probably the sanest default. This can be resolved manually, e.g. by booting with boot: linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium Possible problem: I booted with a Cardbus (32-bit PCMCIA) network card (3Com, 3CCFE575BT-D) in place. This was not detected, I was asked no questions about network configuration.
