Package: installation-reports
Debian-installer-version: 15/06/2005 debian-31r0a-i386-netinst.iso from the
debian website
uname -a: can't even get there so don't ask
Date: 15/06/2005
Method:
cut a cd from the image and booted off the same combo drive
Machine:
self-built hardware as follows:
Gigabyte motherboard 7VT600P-RZ with VIA KT600 chipset
1024 MB RAM (2x512MB crucial sticks)
2 x Maxtor 120Gb SATA drive in RAID configuration (runs as VIA6420 RAID1
drive under Windows XP)
Samsung Combo SM 304-B
HL-DT-ST CD-ROM GCR8483B
ASUS V9520-X V62.11 graphics card
NIC VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet
neovo 17" TFT monitor
wireless keyboard and mouse into PS/2 ports(both)
broadband connection via USB into a Motorola Surfboard SB5100
Processor: AMD K7 XP3200 processor (not overclocked)
Memory: 1024MB
Root Device: this is where the problem lies.
Root Size/partition table:
1 boot NTFS 6GB Windows XP Pro SP2 installed
2 raw 5GB intended root drive
3 ext
5 raw 2GB intended swap space
6 raw 5GB intended var space
7 NTFS 30GB programs and other data for WIN XP
8 NTFS 30GB intended programs and other data
for Debian, to be shared
with Win XP
9 NTFS 36.5GB shared drive for data
Output of lspci and lspci -n: install incomplete, cannot run these commands

Comments/Problems:
The partition table is identical on both drives, which are configured as a
RAID1 array using the configuration tool provided with the BIOS. Using the
drivers from the Gigabyte CD, installation of Win XP was without problems.
When booting Debian from the above CD, it sees both hardware drives as
independent SCSI drives and not as a RAID1 array.
The partitioning section of the installer won't allow me to combine the two
drives without losing all data on them (which is obviously not what I want)
and it cannot combine individual partitions into RAID sections either.
The hardware itself works like a dream (under windows, that is).
The Gigabyte CD and website do not give any clues regarding Linux drivers.
On the other hand the RAID is done by a part of the BIOS and therefore
should be visible as such to the installer.
Also a bit strange is the fact that my network configuration seemed to have
a problem. When running under windows, the DHCP provided by blueyonder works
fine. In the installer it would appear that the USB drivers are not included
in the 2.6 kernel which I loaded and therefore no DHCP service is available.
This seems strange as I thought the 2.6 kernel included USB drivers from the
start ???
Any pointers will be much appreciated.

For the courageous, here is my mobile phone number +44 777 3385 905.
We are running Debian at the company for all our main servers (except 2) and
I need to get my knowledge up to
speed, so I really would like this installation on my home computer to work.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
