Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: Debian 3.1.1r1a Date: May 2006
Machine: Home built machine with VIA EPIA Motherboard Processor: VIA C3 Eden 533 Mhz Memory:512MB Partitions: thats the problem!, trying for 100MB /boot, and 2GB / 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: [O] Config network: [O] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [E] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: System has a 2GB Compact Flash card attached via a CF to IDE adapter.Boot from CD and install goes fine until I try and write my partition changes, I then get errors on the terminal from the compact flash device. See log files attached.
Curiously, if I mount the CF device in another machine via a USB hub I can create partitions etc., and I have successfuly loaded http://shopping.hacom.net/catalog/pub/debian/debian-sarge-1gb-hdc.img.gz by gunzip -c debian-sarge-256-hdc.img.gz | dd of=/dev/sda bs=16k onto the CF card in the other machine. More strangely the partitions created via USB hub do NOT appear in the partition manager.
Attached are the log files from the install. I have gzipped them naturally. Garvan
