After the daily built i386 netinst CD couldn't find main/binary-i386/Packages on the CD (it was there!!!), i sent an installation report (#402219), and the next day (today) tried the daily built i386 businesscard CD (http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso). The installation was successful (but i didn't see any graphical screen, the whole process went on textscreen), but the installaed system doesn't boot. GRUB works, but the boot stops sometimes after the line "input: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [ABBHOME] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.3", sometimes 2 lines later: "usbcore: registered new driver usbhid drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core driver", and sometimes some more lines later: "ahci 0000:03:00.0: AHCI 0001.0000 32 slots 2 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl ide mode ahci 0000:03:00.0: flags 64bit ncq pm led clo pmp pio slum part ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF08DC100 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 169 ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xF08DC180 ctl 0x0 bmdma 0x0 irq 169 ata5: SATA link down (SStatus0) scsi4 : ahci ata6: SATA link down (SStatus0) scsi5 : ahci Done.

BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-3) Built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) ". I'm a newbie, for me it is chinese, but i understand that important devices are missing from /dev, for example sda2, which is my linux partition (all sda devices are missing). First i thought, GRUB coudn't boot from a logical partition, so i installed Debian into a primary partition after a 21 GB ntfs boot partition, but it didn't help. Any idea? P.S.: I want to create a big extended partition after the linux partition, and to place every new partitions into it, so i didn't create swap partition for linux (becouse it creates only a little extended partition for it if it is a logical partition). Is it a problem? (I have 1 GB ram.) By the way my system's parameters are: Machine: custom (ASUS P5B Deluxe) Processor: Core2 Duo 6400 Memory: 2x512MB 800MHz DDR2 Thanks!
