Package: installation-reports Version: daily 20041227 Debian-installer-version: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20041227/sarge-i386-businesscard.iso uname -a: <The result of running uname -a on a shell prompt> Date: 20041228 Method: cdrom boot Machine: HP Proliant ML110 Processor: PentiumIV 3.0Ghz Memory: 1Gb (2x512Mb memory modules) Root Device: SATA on Promise PDC20621 (2 160Gb disks in raid1) Root Size/partition table: <Feel free to paste the full partition table, with notes on which partitions are mounted where.> Output of lspci and lspci -n:
Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Whenever the installer is started (linux, linux26, expert26, expert) and the CD-ROM is detected, the installer tries to load the sd_mod module and hang forever (at least, for more than 5 minutes.) "hang" means that the computer is blocked at 92% and control-alt-del doesn't work. This computer host a SATA promise controller and a tekram DC-395UW SCSI controller with a tape connected to it. If the SCSI controller is removed, the installation proceed correctly. If the SATA controller is removed, then the installation process keep going until it cannot find any hard disk. So, I think that maybe the problem reside in the SCSI driver that require a disk on its chain, while I only have a tape there.
