I'm processing old installation reports, and have, finally, gotten to
yours. Thanks for talking the time to file an installation report.

I'm closing your installation report, which appeats to be due to a hang
during pcmcia startup. Newer versions of the installer prompt whether to
start pcmcia if run in expert mode, which should get you past the hang.

If you can, please try installing again using a current version of the
debian installer. I recommend the tc1 release, which you can find on our
web page, http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/. If you can, try
to reproduce the problems you reported using it, so we can verify that
they're all fixed. We look forward to your new installation report.

Bug#231819: Debian install

2004-06-03 Thread Jim Bray
I tried this on the old Toshiba. It still hangs in the usual place, at 
'Starting PC Card Services', with
a 2.4 kernel. However, it works fine with linux26,  making it past two 
instances 'Starting etc.'

Same thing with -beta2. Tried various debugging options and 'expert'
method, but can't get any more info.
Note: Mandrake hangs when attempting to start pcmcia system on this
thing. Only known problem (just got it). Laptop does have a built-in
floppy.
   

Jim, can you please try the new image from
http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/ and report if that
still hangs.  If it does, can you boot with:
  linux hw-detect/pcmcia=false
This will turn PCMCIA detection off.
Can you test the image above and report if it works?

There is a description of what to do when PCMCIA freezes in [1]section
5.1.8 of the installation manual. Could you try booting in expert mode
and exclude some resource range? According to the PCMCIA HOWTO, the
value you need seems to be exclude irq 9 (but it's not for your
exact laptop model).

Martin,
 I have burned a copy of this and will try it on the Toshiba before long.
I can report that I needed to do an install on my old k6-2 box, and
the install candidate worked fine, with clear improvements since the
last time I tried. I used the linux26 method.
