From which location did you get that ISO-image ?


 It fails at  install base system - with DeBootstrap error - failed to 
 determine codename for release.

Misdirection is the key to being a good magician. Magicians tell
you they are doing something while they do something quite
different; much like politicians -- except we can afford magicians.

Why did you put Error everywhere? Most of the installation must have 
gone OK looking at your comments below.

 Comments/Problems:
 I did a sarge install on jfs on software RAID1. This had not worked on
 earlier versions of the installer.

What do you mean exactly? Did jfs on RAID work with the Sarge installer or 
did it not? If not, _what_ did not work.

 Will run memtest and try to zero the supper blocks and start over.

Sounds like a good option. If that fails too, could you please also try 
with ext3? That will help narrow it down to either the RAID setup of the 
jfs filesystem.

Sorry - lack of sleep - I tried 6 different install CDs before I got this far...

All the E's should be O's

My latest hunch is the nForce4 Ultra chip set - I'm trying to find a later 
kernel complied for Sarge that might have it fixed - no luck finding one I can 
wget from the install shell.


I have talked to others that are running AMD64 with RAID or JFS without any 
problems. I think the highest probability is the nForce4 drivers. Could be some 
 glitch in the SATA drivers?


memtest86+ has been running non stop with restricted air flow for 6 hours now.

I'm going to zero the super blocks on those drives and try again - make sure I 
created everything cleanly.
