Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: Release Candidate 1 uname -a: N/A Date: Sun Aug 8 13:21:23 CEST 2004 Method: Booted from CD
Machine: Alpha Personal Workstation 500a Processor: Alpha EV56 Memory: 256 MB Root Device: SCSI, /dev/sda Root Size/partition table: N/A Output of lspci: N/A Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] Config network: [O] 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: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [E] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: -When selecting the Belgian keyboard layout, I got the error message 'An installation step failed: Select a keyboard layout'. On /dev/tty4 I could read: keymap=be2-latin1 Error executing gunzip -d -c /usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/be-latin1.kmap.gz So, the installer wants to install be2-latin1, but he tries to unzip be-latin1. I chose the American English keymap and the installer continued. -After the FIRST reboot, aboot insists on booting from the cd-rom drive. I had to interrupt (with control-c) and force booting from sda. After a power-down, aboot correctly boots from sda. -After the kernel is loaded, I see some normal messages on the console, until he tries to load the scsi-driver. This is a QLogic ISP1020. From then on, I only get the following message repeated over and again until I powerdown the machine: SCSI aborting command due to timeout: pid 0, scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, Inquiry 00 00 00 ff 00 The installer did it's work almost perfect, but it is not possible to boot into a working machine.
