Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: netinst rc1 ISO, downloaded from debian.org on Sept. 3, 2004 uname -a: n/a Date: Sept. 3, 2004 Method: Booted from CD-ROM with netinst rc1 ISO. Didn't get far enough to use network install.
Machine: Dell Inspiron 2650c Processor: Intel Celeron 1.6GHz Memory: 256MB Root Device: IDE Root Size/partition table: not recorded Output of lspci and lspci -n: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] Comments/Problems: The initial install was simple and problem free. I was particularly pleased that the installer suggested a partitioning scheme and allowed me to approve it and modify it before commiting the changes. I was hit by a bug after rebooting that left the console unusable. I assume this was the bug listed in the rc1 errata under the heading "Hotplug bugs lead to reboot loops, no display." I believe my framebuffer was messed up. I attempted to reboot into emergency mode (as selected from the GRUB menu) but the framebuffer was still messed up so I couldn't make the changes recommended in the errata listing. I started the install over and had the same problem. In normal or emergency mode, the framebuffer would go crazy partway through the boot process so the console was unusable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
