1877 (regression introduced on 2007-11-26) (#37722)
1878 - install linuxwacom if needed
1879 - load disk/ide before disk/scsi, or else sata_sis may be loaded for a
1880 SATA controller and trigger pata_sis loading before sis5513 is loaded,
1881 which would defeat an eventual alias to sis5513 for a PATA controller
1882 - cpufreq:

1884 (family 6 model 11, for example Toshiba Portégé 3500)

1935
1936 Version 10.6.8 - 24 January 2008
1937

1952 - do not sort languages in "choose language" step in graphical mode, since the

2005 - partitioning wizard: ensure existing_part and resize_fat are proposed before
2006 wipe_drive
2007 - in case of ftp/http media, we select basesystem before doing
2008 bestKernelPackage so we must ensure the choice callback selects the good
2009 kernel (reported by Thomas Spuhler on cooker mailing list)
2010 - do propose "Suisse" after selecting french language (#34675)
2011 - use time() to know when to timeout (when launching installer X server)
2012 since the loop may be slower than 1 second (xf86misc::main::Xtest takes time
2013 on a failing X server on i810). Also print a message telling user to wait
2014 after 8 seconds.

2028
2029 - use /dev/cdrom in fstab, but do not write corresponding udev rule
