Hi, after a short vacation, I though to retry a sarge install on my 5k/33. Yes, I am somewhat masochistic, sometimes ;-) With some manual intervention (I had to install the kernel and delo by hand, because the installer did not found a suitable kernel), I was able to get it to boot for initial configuration, but that's it:

Would that stop booting at this point? Other possibilties are: console is switching from ttyS0 to the build-in framebuffer (I alread removed the additional framebuffer, which was recognized at boot), kernel simply crashes (an nmap scan does not find open ports, although exim has been started), I am missing a boot parameter to get the installer running, or? Am I wasting my time with sarge and should test etch beta installers instead? TIA, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
