Sure. But as this is a lowmem install, the logfile is truncated to
save memory.

Can you send us a copy of /var/log/installer/syslog (gzipped)?

I did a test installation with a beta1 netinst image
(from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_beta1/i386/iso-cd/).

The situation is still the same:

In the debian-installer, the ide_generic module is used by default,
but it is not included in the initrd.
Because of that, the newly installed system is unbootable (no disc is noted 
in /dev).

I have queued it to be included in next kernel update for d-i.

I have upgraded my system to actual squeeze.
While building the initramfs, ata-generic was included in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, but _ide-generic_ was not.

The system is now unbootable, root filesystem is not found during boot.


Some output from the initramfs-shell:

(initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-486 root=UUID= ro all_generic_ide

(initramfs) cat /proc/modules
ide_gd_mod 17175 0 - Live 0xc2971000
ide_core 59670 1 ide_gd_mod, Live 0xc294b000
fan 2590 0 - Live 0xc2923000
thermal 9210 0 - Live 0xc290a000
thermal_sys 9346 2 fan,thermal, Live 0xc28f9000
ata_generic 2015 0 - Live 0ßxc282
libata 117275 1 ata_generic, Live 0xc28da000
scsi_mod 102265 1 libata, Live 0xc2863000

(initramfs) ls -l /dev/[hs]da*
ls: /dev/[hs]da*: No such file or directory

(initramfs) ls -l /dev/disk/*
ls: /dev/disk/*: No such file or directory



So, there is no harddisk available, while ata_generic is loaded.



Maybe you want some info on the hardware?

I booted the installer and this is the output from
lspci -nn:

00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Toshiba America Info Systems CPU to PCI bridge

00:13:1 Cardbus bridge [0607]: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC97
[1179:060f] (rev 20)


Hmm, there is no IDE controller listed  ~~:)
But hda is available at that time:

dmesg | grep hda says:

hda: TOSHIBA MK4006MAV, ATA DISK drive
hda: max request size: 128KiB
hda: 8007662 sectors (4099 MB), CHS=7944/16/63
 hda: hda1 hda2

PLEASE NOTE, THAT THIS IS WITH ide_generic LOADED!
ata_generic is not available on the d-i at that time,
but ide_generic is.
