Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: 2004-01-25 http://debian.tu-bs.de/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media-image.img.gz uname -a: The installation has not been completed Date: 2004-01-25 10:00-15:00 Method: mount -o loop hd-media-image.img /mnt cp sarge-i386-businesscard.iso /mnt (I got the file from http://people.debian.org/cdimage/testing/netinst/i386/beta2/) (I tested also the file sarge-i386-netinst.iso) umount /mnt dd if=hd-media-image.img of=/dev/hdb7
After reboot I used grub to chainload /dev/hdb7. The installation was good up to the moment of installing the kernel. I chosed several kernel-versions (2.6, 2.6.0, 2.4.23(?), 2.4.18-bf2.4, 2.4). After the kernel installation there was nothing in /target/boot. The system is unbootable. While I tried a network-install the packages had been loaded without proxy from debian.tu-bs.de with success.
