Debian-Installer
Currently broken things
Installations on older ["SPARCs"] OldSparcInstall
- Installations on IBM Netvista desktops (cannot mount CDROM)
- Installation on SATA HD (["ICH5"]) with kernel 2.6
- linux26 and linux24 both hang after detecting and loading 3w-xxxx driver (3ware ata-raid driver)
- ["RAID1"] with swap on the first partition and root on the second partition (on the two disks of course) don't boot afet GRUB install. Workaroud: edit the GRUB root parameter after it fail and change (hd0,0) to (hd0,1).

- Installing using linux26 on a system with ["32MB"] of memory isn't possible. The installation process procedes to where the user is presented with the Low-mem dialog, but clicking ok, just brings you back to the dialog. Since the minimal shell at that point has no partitioning tools you are also unable to create a swap partition manually. It might be possible to work around this, since wget is included, but I didn't bother to try. The problem doesn't affect the installer when using the default kernel.
Things that are, more or less, resolved
