Package: debian-installer Version: lenny installer Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
-- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 <--- Not really. It's the lenny installer APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) As the above system information shows, Etch works perfectly on this system, although it was not easy to install on a blank HD when the OS was woody. The installation that triggered this bug was attempted by building a bootable USB memory stick (boot.img.gz (downloaded today) + debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso) to install lenny on a new blank HD. Attempted work-arounds. As can be seen for the output of lswh (done from Etch and appended below), this laptop has lots of built-in hardware. In addition to the suggested temporary options (noapic, nolapic, acpi=off, irqpoll) and hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false, I have excluded all the i/o addresses that are likely to cause a problem: the pcmcia system, the firewire port, the wireless adapter (ipw2100), the AC97 sound system and the modem. Obviously, since this is a net install, the network card (that in Etch uses the b44 driver just fine) is mandatory. Immediately after the "network hardware detection" is apparently complete, the screen goes dark, the right 2 LEDs next to the power button flash at 1 second interval and the system totally freezes. Holding the power button for about 10 seconds is necessary to shut down the machine. I'd be glad to run specific tests if asked. Any other suggestions of work-arounds welcome.
