Package: install Version: beta2 Severity: serious
Error messages: There are no error messages. The computer just freezes while displaying the "Detecting Hardware" process bar at 95% with the text "Skipping unavailable module 'ide-floppy' for 'Linux IDE floppy'". Where can I find out how to collect error or log messages? Steps to replicate: + Download http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso and write to a CD. + Boot from CD in default mode. Hit enter twice to select default language and keyboard. + Installer progresses through two progress bars, "Detecting hardware" and "Loading components of the Debian installer". And on the third, "Detecting hardware", it freezes. (I waited an hour.) I expect it not to freeze but instead to continue with the installation without a floppy drive. Hardware: I'm installing on a Dell Latitude D600, which has no floppy drive. I also noticed a related successful install, http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing/2003/debian-testing-200311/msg00105.html Additional info: When I install in expert mode, I don't get any error when the system freezes. But I do get a few potentially relevant errors before then. For example, I get a errors saying that "modprobe -v floppy" failed and "modprobe -v ide-disk" failed. When I install in net mode (boot the net image instead of linux or expert), I don't see this problem. The installer never freezes and I can install the base system. See below for output from "uname -a", "dpkg -s libc6 | grep '^Version'", lspci, and dmesg. The output below was collected *after* the successful install, so it may not represent the software that froze. It does, however, reflect that same hardware that froze. libc6-version: 2.3.2.ds1-10 uname -a: Linux debian 2.4.23-1-386 #1 Sun Nov 30 16:49:14 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to I/O Controller (rev 03) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller (rev 03) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #1) (rev 01) 00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #2) (rev 01) 00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB (Hub #3) (rev 01) 00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB USB2 (rev 01) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801BAM/CAM PCI Bridge (rev 81) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801DBM LPC Interface Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801DBM Ultra ATA Storage Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) 00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [Radeon Mobility 9000 M9] (rev 01) 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) 02:01.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 7113 (rev 20) 02:01.1 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.: Unknown device 7113 (rev 20) 02:03.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation: Unknown device 4324 (rev 02) Linux version 2.4.23-1-386 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)) #1 Sun Nov 30 16:49:14 EST 2003 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f000 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 0000000007fae000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000007fae000 - 0000000008000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000feda0000 - 00000000fee00000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ffb00000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 127MB LOWMEM available.
