Cannot install "debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso"

[chriwi]

Hello,

yesterday I downloaded: "debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso" and made a CD.
I can boot the CD on my
PC(AMD Athlon64 3200, Asus-bord, 2 IDE-Harddisks+2SATA-Harddisks)

I am a good way into the installation of the base system, and then it stops with a errormessage saying that the installation of the base-system failed and referred me to the syslog, the consoles are still running, and iwas able to copy the syslog to my harddisk, it ens as follows:

Oct 31 09:46:53 main-menu[1261]: DEBUG: configure base-installer, status: 2

Oct 31 09:47:14 init: ^MStarting pid 1238, console /dev/vc/2: '/bin/sh'

when tried the installation in expert-mode the last messages were as follows:
apt-install chroot: apt-get no such file or directory
mount no such file or directory
(sorry that I forgot to copy the exact log from the ramdisk)

What is going wrong here?

p.s.: my network connectin is via DSL(Fritzbox) and allways works fine over DHCP with any other operatingsystem (win-XP, Knoppix, Kanotix, suse9.2)

You, me, and someone else here had probs with that distro as well.
After all it is in the testing stage.

Try another perhaps?

Personally, if I wanted to install debian system, I would do one of the following:

- Install Debian Sarge, then upgrade to Testing
- Get Sarge's netinstall CD, and before it begins to get packages from the net, go to a console by pressing Alt+right_cursor , edit /etc/apt/sources.list to make it point to testing instead of sarge(stable), run

Code: Select all

apt-get update

, and voilá, get back to the Debian installer (Alt+left_cursor), and it will install from the Testing distribution.
