Bug#292476: Package: Debian-Installer
Package: Debian-Installer Debian-installer-version: http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/ last monday uname -a: didn't install, but booted the 2.6 kernel Date: Monday, february 24 Method: Clean install using sarge-i386-netinst.iso booting from CD Machine: Dell PowerEdge 750 Processor: P4 2.8 HT Memory: 512 Root Device: Sata, Software raid 1 Root Size/partition table: 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: [E] Failed to detect CD Config network: [E] Failed to detect CD Detect CD: [E] Failed to read modules from CD Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems:[ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system:[ ] Install boot loader:[ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: I really wanted to use the 2.6 kernel beceause of the SATA disks, but it just wouldn't work. I'll just keep trying :-) Greetings, Peet

I'll just keep trying :-) Try booting the installer in expert mode. You will be asked what modules you want to install during cdrom detection. Try selecting only general ide modules (like ide-cd). Try to find out what combination of modules works and what does not. Let us know the results. Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

(please follow up to the BTS so we keep the full history of the problem) On Thursday 27 January 2005 15:23, you wrote: Try selecting only general ide modules (like ide-cd). Try to find out what combination of modules works and what does not. After selecting the right modules (all), this is wat it tells me: You must have misunderstood me. _Don't_ select all modules, just select the general ide modules (ide-generic, ide-cd) instead and check if your CD drive works then. The idea is that there may be a module conflict and we need to find out what it is. Unable to load some modules blah The unavailable modules, and the devices that need them are: e1000 (Intel Corporation 82547GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller), e100 (Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100]), ide-mod (Linux IDE driver), ide-probe-mod (Linux IDE probe driver), ide-detect (Linux IDE detection), ide-floppy (Linux IDE floppy). This is not relevant. The same CD with the same 2.6 kernel worked and loaded all necessary modules on my other computer, a regular hp Vectra DL420, so the CD is fine. I guess that it's just a matter of missing modules on the CD to detect the hardware correct. However, I just finally succedded in installing it using Knoppix (and with a lot of workarounds...). In that case, please send us the output of 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' so we can see what kind of hardware is in the machine. The output of 'lsmod' should be usefull as well.

I'll send a gzipped .config to the BTS, maybe it helps. Cheers, Peet
