Hi folks, Nice work on the new Debian installer. It worked great on an install to a PIII. Unfortunately, I'm having troubles getting it to work with it on another system. Here's my report:
-------------------------------- Package: installation-reports Debian-installer-version: rc1 - Aug 17, 2004 - http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ uname -a: Linux (none) 2.6.7-1-386 #1 Thu Jul 8 05:08:04 EDT 2004 i686 unknown Date: Aug 17, 2004 1600EST Method: Debian installer CD for i386 Machine: Dell Dimension 8400 Processor: Pentium 4 3.2Ghz with hyperthreading Memory: 1Gb Root Device: none Root Size/partition table: Can't view partition table Output of lspci: There is no easy way to cut this info to my other workstation as my network card is not recognized (Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx). Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot worked: [x] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [x] Load installer modules: [x] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Comments/Problems: Here's what I've tried: * turning on ATA only in BIOS * turning on SATA/PATA combo mode (the Libranet distro that supports SATA can see the drive in this mode) * turning on AHCI mode * running the installer with 'linux26' The SATA controller is a ICH6 which is supposedly supported by the latest ata_piix and libata. I'm not sure which version of these libraries are being included with the installer but it's not working for me at present. Thanks for any pointers. Let me know if I need to provide more details.
