[TYPO3-dev] SQL errors in Install Tool in TRUNK (possibly related to new cache system?)

Yes as the install tool is here to actually configure TYPO3 such that it 
runs smoothly. Install tool does not issue (or should not issue) PHP 
warnings/errors when trying to connect to the DB. As Francois pointed 
out, this may be caused by the use of devlog call in install code. When 
you do not have this extension, no problem, but when you have it, it 
tries to log information to the DB which, as Francois found, is not yet 
available / corresponding classes are not instantiated.
