Hi,
on Saturday, July 1st, we also tested d-i on pismo notebook (also know as "g3
firewire" see
http://www.apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallery&model=pg3sfirewire&performa=off&sort=date&order=ASC),
The 20060630mini.iso gui-started, crashed, looped. (The mouse pointer also had
a square background.)
The 20060701 from wouter builds gui-started and froze, with video=ofonly
looped (similar to the 20060630mini.iso)
The daily build from 2006-06-30 non-gtk worked, and had a blue background
during installation :)
In configure network all network devices were detected, the wireless one is
labeled as 802.x, so it's recognizable (as opposed to the non recognizable
firewire ethernet...) - and it was selected automatically as no cable was
connected, nice!
Interestingly only the left alt-key (with the need for also using the
fn-button) worked to switch the consoles..., but after the installation all
is normal, that is both alt-keys are fine for switching consoles and the
fn-key is not needed.
Another thing that strangely only happend once (we had to restart many times
as the battery was empty and the power supply flaky...): during configure
harddisc a menu for pcmcia options pops up. This is slightly confusing,
because though the machine has pcmcia, there were no pcmcia cards used (and
therefore also no pcmcia harddrives in the machine.)
Then we were not asked if we wanted to create a normal user.
Also I noted that I didnt have to select a kernel to be installed, nice. With
the miboot-floppies i need to select a kernel for the final system.
The german "select mirror" templates are translated inconsistently: "einen
Netzwerkspiegel verwenden" and "Land the Debian-Archiv-Spiegelservers".
(Besides that I'm still unconvinced that "Netzwerkspiegel" and "Spiegelserver"
are useful translations...)
From popularity-contest question on (til the end IIRC) there were localisation
issues: the titles of the text-boxes were not translated, the content was.
The laptop-task was preselected, yay - nice!
The download-progress bar is very nice too, but unfortunatly there is no
cancel button. (Which sucks, when you select the desktop task and are not
aware how much you need to download for this and dont have that much time at
the moment...)
The rest of the installation went fine, the system booted into linux. (I plan
to repeat this test with a macos9 and another one with a macosx installation,
which should be kept, as well.)
But the system time was set incorrectly to January 1st, 1904.
I will visit him again in the end of July or beginning of August, to repeat
these tests. Then I will also make sure to send the report immediatly, to
remember some details (like the exact symptoms/errors with the gtk-image)
better.
regards,
Holger

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.
