Yesterday night I've tried the following:
1) Started installation form sarge netboot
2) Standard partitioning with a "/" partition fo about 35.5GB
3) Run installation till reboot question
Instead rebooting I've started a shell, unmounted "/target" and started a fsck to check the root partition with this output:
8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---8<---

Quoted 7 lines

~ # fsck.ext3 /dev/discs/disc0/part5 -f e2fsck 1.37 (21-Mar-2005)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes Inode 1311742 has illegal block(s). Clear<y>? yes
Illegal block #12 (3271557120) in inode 1311742. CLEARED. Illegal block #13 (637534208) in inode 1311742. CLEARED.

...

Ok. Definitely problems with this. Something wrong with high inode counts. Can someone map where those inodes live on the disk?
Ie which block number would they reside on (about)?

So, I think that sarge netinst kernel probably has a bug for partition bigger than 18GB. :(

Maybe...does using two partitions solve avoid those issues?

Quoted 5 lines

Do you think I'd do:
1) Tring an installation from "etch" netinst CD or
2) Continue with sarge netinst and use two 18GB partition

Your choice. two 18GB partions should work fine too. My preference would be to try the "etch" netinst CD but I don't have a clue if that works better or not for C200.

Quoted 5 lines

Please let me know because at home I have no fast internet connection and if I'd try the sarge option I'll download at office the installation CD and the packages DVD.
Thanks a lot to everybody! :)

welcome - and thanks for your patience and tenacity.

ciao!

Ok, my c200 has a cdrom but no dvd-rom and no internet broadband connection, so for sarge I've copied the two DVD-ROM to my laptop and published by http, and apt works. For etch I've seen that cdrom images are aivailable but noy dvd-rom images, I don't want burn 14 cdrom ;) so how can I download the installation archives to my laptop?

Thank You! :)

Awesome. If that's a 64bit kernel, then the problem is most likely gone (and we should remove it from the wiki KnownIssues list ;)

Heh, seems I was 5 minutes faster than you:

Info for "KnownIssues":

   2005-10-12 08:48:01 =093375 =09=09MaxGrabert =09XFS seems to work, some

sound issues seem to be fixed as well

BTW, looking at the ad1889 wiki page it still says that ALSA is broken ...

Greetings,
Max
