With the zcat method, the USB memory boots. I see the d-i welcome screen and can browse the help screens. Starting install or installgui, even with BOOT_DEBUG=2 only shows Loading linux.... (four periods every time) I tried this with installer files I downloaded on 2007-02-08 and -10. The command fdisk -l /dev/sda shows a very strange partition table, perhaps this is expected since I did zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda, not to /dev/sda1. But cfdisk /dev/sda shows FATAL ERROR: Bad primary partition 0: Partition begins after end-of-disk Next I tried the more complicated way of creating a USB memory for installing. Then the boot just hangs, nothing happens and nothing on screen after the BIOS output. I did install-mbr /dev/sda and that made things a little bit better, I see on screen: MBR Boot failed This info obviously not from the host to be installed: -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-686-smp Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
