Similar problem here. I use the daily built floppies of the debian installer of 2004-09-05, boot.img and root.img . The hardware is a pentium 100 mhz with 32 mb ram. After booting with boot.img and feeding also root.img, a message appears "entering low memory mode". I don't load extra drivers, since I don't need cd-drivers nor net-drivers. I choose keymap "american english" instead of "belgian" because the solution for bug #262620 is not yet in testing. Hostname localhost, domain localdomain. The mirror I use is the one of the KULeuven in Belgium. Then I'm asked which additional installer components to load. I selected none. Then I see messages with progress bars, saying that hw-detect is being loaded, en "detecting disks...". Then the partitioner is shown, with five selectable lines, first "Help on partitioning", then two selectable blank lines, then "Undo changes to partitions", then "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk". In virtual console 2, I see that /dev/hda doesn't exist, /dev/ide is empty, and /dev/discs doesn't exist. Virtual console 3 says "Log file truncated to save memory". Virtual console 4 shows lots of DEBUG-messages. The last two end with "configure harddrive-dectection, status: 0" and "virtual package harddrive-dectection".
I had no such problems with the floppies for installing woody. Joshua said something about trying again in a few days. Feel free to ask me to say when to try again. I can keep the hardware available for some time for some more testing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
