Debian-installer-version: RC1 http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc1/sarge-i386-netinst.iso uname -a: Date: 1 Sep 2004 Method: Netinst CD, took non-base from network Machine: Toshiba Satellite 3000-400 Processor: Intel Pentium III Memory: Root Device: /dev/hda3 Root Size/partition table: /dev/hda1 is NTFS 5 and 6 are FAT32 3 is EXT3 4 is swap Output of lspci and lspci -n: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it 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] Install packages after base system [E] Comments/Problems: First boot hanged the machine at hotplug time. Some USB module apparently got automatically blacklisted, second boot worked, but rivafb module fucked up the console. After manual blacklisting, could reach baseconfig. - I got only server tasks (WWW server, print server, ...) and localisation tasks, but no desktop task (X Window system, desktop environment, TeX/LaTeX environment, scientific application, C development, python development, ...) - I didn't get asked which locales should be generated and /etc/locale.gen didn't contain sensible defaults (was empty). Debconf was configured with "medium" priority. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" took care of it, but we shouldn't assume installers know to do that. - Configured X with nv driver, LCD works, but not external monitor. Usually, X tells me in the log what the native resolution of the LCD is (DDC?), but not in this case. (Sorry for being somewhat vague, but I don't have the machine at hand now. I'll get a grip on it Friday.) -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
