There it stopped after the pcmcai package of a wrong kernel (kernel-image-2.4.18-k7) was installed (at least the kernel itself was installed correctly). I ended up with a non-bootable, non-working system. ISSUE 1 - base-installer Main problem is wrong selection of kernel. Install base system selected 2.4.18-k7, this should be 2.4.18-686 or 2.4.18-i386. $ cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 11 model name : Intel(R) Celeron(TM) CPU 1400MHz stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 1403.200 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse bogomips : 2798.38 ISSUE 2 - kbd-chooser I used the german language during install but the sort order is in english. Deutsch (gemran) is under G, should be under D. ISSUE 3 - bootloader After the Install hangs at 86% i tried to install a bootloader, but then always a base install started. by Carsten -- It may be the warriors who get the glory, but it's the engineers who build societies.
