Comments/Problems:
HDD: GTK installer didn't work (failed to recognize hdd), however
this seems to be a problem with my image, as it also failed on an other
machine. Text based install worked very well.
This is strange: the installer, and hence the hdd recognition code, is
always the same, what changes is just the final interface (text or
graphical).
Anyone has an explanation for this?
I have some additional information about this problem: I tried this today
on my
other machine (Yakumo notebook) and took some screenshots (with my digital
camera as I couldn't write to harddisk). While doing this I noticed
something strange: After about 5 minutes of now activity suddenly the
installer started. However I still was not able to mount the HDD. The
messages were the same with the HP notebook, but I didn't want to try it
here as I need this machine and didn't want to risk any problems here.
dmesg (textbased installer)

Messages where the boot process stalled (note the completely wrong size
and disk geometry)
The "lost interrupt" messages appeared about once per minute.

I hope this helps. Perhaps I find some free time to try the current image
later on.
