Following this failed attempt, I did a net install - that was supremely successful (how impressed was I? VERY!) and I am now reluctant to test the process again using the complete DVD installation medium. I could try to run through the process up to but stopping at the disk repartition step if that helps (at medium priority level) if that helps. Let me know, Kind regards Geoff Shuetrim -----Original Message----- From: Christian Perrier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 December 2004 04:58 To: Geoff; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Bug#285589: failed installation report Quoting Geoff ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > I obtained the DVD image using jigdo from > > [1]http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/dvd/jigdo-area/ > > The DVD ISO image was created successfully and burned to a DVD. > > > The DVD was inserted into the DVD drive and the machine was rebooted. > > > The installer started correctly and prompted me to type enter to > trigger > > the install process.

At this point, something is no more correct. The next step should be the hard disk partitioning step. Are you sure you don't get any error screen at some point? Could you retry the install at medium priority�? linux DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium at boot prompt The display on console 3 and 4 after the CD-Rom integrity test could help, also. ----- End forwarded message ----- --
