No I haven't sent this to anyone else (actually just forwarded to debian-boot). This is the first time I have used debian for 3 years (previously only once before on an old alpha). Despite many years unix experience I haven't got the foggest idea what is going on here or if this is in fact a real problem or just a failure to driver the installer properly. I am inclined at this point to give up unless anyone has any good ideas on how I should proceed.
