Debian-installer-version: Daily Build 16.03.2005 uname -a: 2.4.27-2-386 Date: 17.03.2005 Method: netinstall ISO image Machine: Toshiba Satellite 2100 Pro Processor: 2,4 GHz P4 mobile Memory: 256M Root Device: IDE/Hitachi Root Size/partition table: / on /dev/hda3 3.3GB /home on /dev/hda5 1.5GB Output of lspci and lspci -n: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Install boot loader: [E] Comments/Problems: I have booted from the installation CD with the following boot option: linux vga=791 The installation went through until boot loader selection comes up. As I prefer Lilo (and really think there should be an option to easily select between Lilo and Grub) I pressed the "Back" Button to make bootloader selection possible. d-i creates a configuration file "/etc/lilo.conf" containing the append="vga=791" option below both configured boot kernels (vmlinuz / vmlinuz.old). This causes an error: Fatal: APPEND or LITERAL may not contain "vga=" I find it not very usefull that after selecting Lilo as Boot manager, the d-i stays in "menu mode" also base-config is started in "menu mode" after 1st stage. If there is more than one boot option available, setting the "prompt" and "timeout" option would help novice users to figure out how to boot into the system of choice (Grub Boot Selection is also displayed).
