Package: debian-installer
Version: lenny installer
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 4.0 <--- Not really. It's the lenny installer
APT prefers stable
APT policy: (500, 'stable')
Architecture: i386 (i686)
Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
Kernel: Linux 2.6.18
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1)
As the above system information shows, Etch works perfectly on this
system, although it was not easy to install on a blank HD when the OS
was woody.
The installation that triggered this bug was attempted by building
a bootable USB memory stick (boot.img.gz (downloaded today) +
debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso) to install lenny on a new blank HD.
Attempted work-arounds.
As can be seen for the output of lswh (done from Etch and appended
below), this laptop has lots of built-in hardware. In addition to
the suggested temporary options (noapic, nolapic, acpi=off, irqpoll)
and hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false, I have excluded all the i/o
addresses that are likely to cause a problem: the pcmcia system,
the firewire port, the wireless adapter (ipw2100), the AC97 sound
system and the modem.
Obviously, since this is a net install, the network card (that in
Etch uses the b44 driver just fine) is mandatory.
Immediately after the "network hardware detection" is apparently
complete, the screen goes dark, the right 2 LEDs next to the power
button flash at 1 second interval and the system totally freezes.
Holding the power button for about 10 seconds is necessary to shut
down the machine.
I'd be glad to run specific tests if asked. Any other suggestions
of work-arounds welcome.

Hi,
thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much
appreciated.
I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to
close wishlist bugs.)
If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.
cheers,
Holger
