[Andy Barnes]

Package: installation-reports   Debian-installer-version: 13th May 2004 20:00 http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/beta4/sarge-i386-netinst.iso uname -a: N/A Date: 14th May 2004 13:00 Method: cd-rom install, expert26, linux26, expert   Machine: Compaq Armada 100s Processor:AMD K6-2 550 Memory: 192MB Root Device: IDE /dev/hda Root Size/partition table: IDE1 master – 5.0GB IBM-DJSA-205 (4.7GB ext3 /, 255.4MB swap) Output of lspci: N/A   Base System Installation Checklist:   Initial boot worked:    [O] Configure network HW:   [E] Config network:         [E] Detect CD:              [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives:     [O] Partition hard drives:  [O] Create file systems:    [O] Mount partitions:       [O] Install base system:    [E] Install boot loader:    [O] Reboot:                 [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it   Comments/Problems:   Using expert, linux26, expert26 all failed to detect my pcmcia network card (Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56). This worked fine in the old woody installer, however it used to ask if the network card was a pcmcia device which it no longer does. The network driver appears in the list of drivers (xirc2ps_cs) however when I select it its not binding. I believe its not detecting the pcmcia controller though I do not have the skills to confirm this.   During base install I get errors part way through the base install. It gets to bsdutils and fails with “Debootstrap Error Couldn’t download bsdutils”. If I continue it takes me back to the installer menu, retrying comes up with the same error.   I will try and burn another disk to check my media after re-downloading the iso image but currently I cannot achive a working system even without the pcmcia card installed.
