Comments/Problems:
System has a 2GB Compact Flash card attached via a CF to IDE adapter.
Boot from CD and install goes fine until I try and write my partition
changes,
I then get errors on the terminal from the compact flash device. See log
files attached.
Curiously, if I mount the CF device in another machine via a USB hub I
can create partitions etc.,
and I have successfuly loaded
http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/debian/debian-sarge-1gb-hdc.img.gz
by gunzip -c debian-sarge-256-hdc.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda bs=16k onto
the CF card in the other machine.
More strangely the partitions created via USB hub do NOT appear in the
partition manager.
Attached are the log files from the install.
I have gzipped them naturally.

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.
