Debian-installer-version: Beta1-Business Card Install uname -a: N/A Date: 12/05/2003 Method: Booted from Business Card Machine Machine: Homebrew Processor: Celeron 400 Memory: 128 MB Root Device: WDC36400 Root Size/partition table: /dev/hda1 swap ~256 MB /dev/hda2 /boot ~50 MB /dev/hda2 / ~5.3 GB Output of lspci: N/A Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [Y] Configure network HW: [Y] Config network: [Y] Detect CD: [Y] Load installer modules: [Y] Detect hard drives: [Y] Partition hard drives: [Y] Create file systems: [Y] Mount partitions: [Y] Install base system: [E] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Everything worked fine during the install until I got to the install base system section. At that point it gave me an error about installing base system to /target failed. It asked me to check files in /target/var/log/. I went to that directory and discovered that both the files that were there (debootstrap.log and debootstrap.err.log) were both empty. As such I was unable to determine what the problem was. I later realized that despite the fact that the machine had gotten a DHCP address properly, it still didn't have a working internet connection, due to a problem on my end. However an error message that it was unable to resolve the domain or contact a server would be helpful. Additionaly when it was setting up my partitions it just sat at a blank screen while it worked in the back ground. For a second I thought it had died as all the other steps had given progress bars. Even just a screen saying that it is formatting would be helpful. ---------------- Thanks Jefferson Cowart [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
