Dag Chris,

You may very well be right. I have translated this, and I also have found such errors. I *think* that in my newest translation this will be gone. Installer seems to be a real beast to translate, somehow.

Hey Zappa, Thank you, but it didn't make any difference.

Hi Trevor,

Thanks, but it didn't work. I re-installed Debian, fully off cf-card this time, but the result is still the same.

I'd love to add a screengrab with the Famous Last Words, but I can't. Board's attachment quota has been reached.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight...



Thank you.

Thank you Daz. The aforementioned failure occured while installing (or trying to install) Ubuntu.
Today I've tried your new kernel and Debian installed just fine. But I could not boot into Debian, after the install.

Now this is getting weird: this morning I took a brand new cfcard with vmlinux3.5.7 on it and the whole install worked nicely. No problems until the very end: I could not boot into Debian, and since the system had decided to install on a partition where I didn't want it, I decided to install again ...

But today is an other day.
Today it doesn't work anymore.

Oh well.
Tomorrow things may change again.

Have a cigar...

Ah, I see, vmlinux-3.5.7.... Well, I *thought* I did read that Installmanual2.5.1.4 carefully, hence the Squeeze and vmlinux39-thingy, but now I've read it once more (over a glass of wine & a cigar) and yes, now it works! I got as far as the real install and then I had to break off this all because ...
