Bug#491034: cdinst problem (root bridge?)

Use of the lennybeta2 cdinst made my previous problem go away. I got a message at the very beginning suggesting I use the amd64 version rather than the i386 version (my machine is an HP small forms desktop). I ignored this message and stayed with the i386 out of laziness. So far, things seem to be working.

But they will help identify in which area the problem is. Please also try a Lenny beta2 installation image [1] which uses a different kernel version, even if only to see if the problem is specific to the 2.6.18 kernel that Etch uses. To see the kernel boot messages with these images, you need to select the Expert mode boot option in the Advanced options menu. The parameters can be added after pressing tab.

When I booted from the CD, I got the usual display and pressed ENTER for default installation. After a screen or so of display, the machine stopped, with the last few lines: ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: using IOAPIC for interrupt routing ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (.00) ACPI: assume root bridge [\_SP_.PCI0] bus is 0 The machine would not respond to control-alt-del, control-C, or ESC. I could only turn it off by unplugging it! I tried to follow a suggestion from the debian-user mailing list, typing install pci=noacpi instead of just pressing ENTER. The machine ground to a halt again, with the last few lines: ACPI: bus type pci registered ACPI: Interpreter enabled ACPI: using PIC ... PnP: PNP ACPI: found 17 devices PnPBIOS: Disabled by ACPI PNP PCI: Probing PCI hardware ACPI: Assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0] bus is 0.
