1) the daily build didn't let me choose my keyboard at
DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium after the coutry selection.
had an english keyboard (same as language) but needed german.
2) after choosing the kernel base-install fails after 81%
initial choosen kernel-image-2.4.26-1-smp
reproduced with kernel-image-2.6.6-1-smp on a clean base target
vc1 gets the known error message "Installation step failed",
initrd-tools were downloaded as well ash as a cramfs package
but the kernel not, verified by a ls /target/boot
the last thing that is done is "setting up initrd tools"
syslog shows a main-menu with 100% a Connection to
ftp.at.debian.org[ip]:80 (the mirror i chose) and then a
user.warn main-menu WARNING **: Configuring "base-installer failed with
error code 1
i retried with netinst.iso from aboves link, and a bit
different paritioning scheme 470mb from the end for /,
40 mb in the middle for /boot and 30mb free at the beginning of the disc.
always used ext2 fs.
sorry that the error message is not more meanfull,
hope vorlon that aboves still helps to nail that down.
strange happened when passing "console=tty console=ttyS0"
as bootargs from aboot, did get no serial console, but when
doing "console=tty console=ttyS0,9600" i got the serial line,
but no tty.
a++ maks
*) i will close that bug report as the failures from tc1 are corrected,
inbetween thanks vorlon!

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.
