Package: bug report Boot method: DVD-RW Image version: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-dvd/debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso Date: Tursday, October 24th
Machine: MSI K8MM-V, Plextor PX-712SA, Seagate ST380811AS Processor: AMD Turion 64 MT-30 Memory: 1 Gio DDR-SDRAM PC3200 Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [E] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: Hello, I tried in BIOS IDE & RAID mode for the VT8237R controller (Only RAID mode works "well" but slowly in XP SP1 using 100% CPU time; with IDE mode the DVD-writer is randomly detected). Using Etch Beta DVD1, I boot such as "install libata.atapi_enabled=1", my hard drive is detected (I saw some command lines about it), I select my regional language, my keyboard layout then I got the CDROM detection step, generic module for IDE drive and more are loaded then now I see a blue screen with a grey bar at the bottom ... the installation seems frozen, I can type some text but It does nothing more than stupid caracters (@?!...). I hope one day I could install debian with my sata hardware as I used to do with Woody and my PATA drive.
