Could be. The only issue that worries me is that it's reproducable at

It's not very meaningful to buy old memory card to replace in the
old PC, I'll stop this attempt to install Debian on this PC.


Please, let's continue the debugging.



If you say so... Now I removed one hard drive, (with empty partition,
would be Debian bootable) it still has one hard drive (Win98 bootable).

Should I put the disk back for debugging?


Do you have any null-modem cable available? If yes, we can try the get
the log until its reboot.



Yes, I have null-modem cable. Please send me instruction for logging.

If anything above will succeed, I'll report here.



Xubuntu and Ubuntu installation also failed.

The memory check utility, which came with Ubuntu installation CD,
found a fault in memory card. Probably it was the cause of problem?

Let's start to try to address it in steps. First would be nice if you
could try the daily image[1] and see if it does work for you?

1. http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/mini.iso

Please report what it does solve and not.



I tried to boot from mini.iso CD from the link above.

In both case, boot without command and with "expert" command,
I arrive to the point to chose the mirror site and protocol to
download. Then when I chose [Continue], the computer goes out
and reboot. So, it doesn't solve the problem.

Bug#436224: follow-up: installation problem at setting clock

2007-08-06 Thread muchan

I changed the network card, then  problem (2), of not finding network driver,
can be bypassed.

But the same. When "expert" mode installation comes to "seeting up the clock",
it reboots.

Image version:
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r0/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r0-i386-netinst.iso
Date: 6 Aug 2007

Machine: Old PC with Celeron  (from year 1999 or 2000)
Processor: Celeron
Memory:
Partitions: HD0 #1 FAT   (old Windows98 is still there)
HD1 #1 EXT3 8.5Gb - would be boot disk for this installation
  - would be mounted as /
#2 FAT 2Gb   (old data of Windows98)
#3 swap 8.2Mb

Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn:

Comments/Problems:

(1)
After partitioning, when screen shows "SETTING UP THE CLOCK", the system 
reboots.
Trying again, it forget that the setting of HD1 #1 partition (as /).

Language : English, Country: Slovenia, Keyboard: US-English

I tried with Country: Germany, in case Slovenia is the cuase of problem,
but the same problem (reboot at "SETTING UP THE CLOCK") persists.

(2)
In defailt installer says DHCP probe succeeded.
But when I tried "expert" installation, when I come to Netwok configuration,
it says there isn't a driver for network card, and asks floppy with the driver.

The network card is "Realtek RTL8139 PCI Fast Ethernet NIC" and
Realtek's website says "Linux driver (driver has built-in the kernel)".
