Package: installation-reports Boot method: CD Image version: beta3 netinst Date: 20060814
Machine: SGI IP22 (Indigo2) Processor: R4400SC 200 MHz Memory: 256 MB Partitions: No partitioning done. Output of lspci and lspci -n: No PCI onboard. Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [E] Configure network HW: [ ] Config network: [ ] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [ ] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Create file systems: [ ] Mount partitions: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Reboot: [ ] Comments/Problems: The kernel on the beta3 CD seems to lack keyboard support, so installing using the console is rather hard :) Some strings in the list of languages aren't displayed properly, which means the installation probably can't be done using the affected languages. Note: the installation manual lacks the instructions needed to boot from the CD (boot -f scsi(X)cdrom(Y)partition(8)/r4k-ip22 in the PROM) I'll attempt a serial console install and will submit another report once I'll be done.
