Comments/Problems:
[this is my first bugreport, so please tell me about mistakes I made]
in rc2 the initial boot didn't work, after remapping the kernel the
machine did an immediate reboot. Now in daily_20050224 boot did work.
Then the Language selection menu is displayed - there seems to be a
problem with the charset, might be similar to bug #282781 (UTF8). No
cursor or scrollbar are visible, so selection of a language etc. may
be very difficult.
But at this point I had another problem: the machine doesn't seem to
respond to the keyboard anymore, RETURN won't make the installer
proceed and even stop-a doesn't work any more (should get me into
openboot-prompt).
When I tried to supply a language on the command prompt, d-i used that
setting but seemed to "hang" similarly on the next question (and also
like that when supplying country too).
So I'm perhaps only too stupid to find the appropriate key to proceed,
but selecting any options without being able to see the current
position of the scrollbar might not be that ideal ;-)
Thank you for your time reading my report, help would be appreciated.
(The identical machine next to it - mentioned above - was installed
using debootstrap, because I had to get it running, this machine will
now probably be available for more thorough testing and reporting
problems)
Yours
Matthias Merz
