Package: debian-installer Severity: important Version: 20081105 Tried to install Debian Lenny on a VIA EPIA SN (VIA C7, i386 arch) board today. This one has a VIA Rhine II (VT6102) and a VIA Velocity (VT6120/VT6121/VT6122) NIC.
When detecting the network cards, the kernel panics. In the log I saw that the panic happened while "ip" was running. The panic hasn't happened with an old, 2.6.24 based Lenny installer I tried first (but didn't seem to have LVM support). http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11121 seems to be exactly the problem I have. Looks like the problem has been introduced with 2.6.26, so it's really a regression. Tried the Installer from 29. Oct. 2008 (AFAIK RC1) as well as the daily snapshot from today (5. Nov. 2008). Workaround is to add "pci=noacpi" at the boot prompt as reported in the comments to the above mentioned kernel bug report.
