Config network This wasn't successful but I guess this is the old problem that we have with Alcatel Speedtouch DSL modems with (at least) the first Debian Installer on Debian Sarge. I might provide install reports dedicated to network configuration later when I manage to reboot the machine with Etch Debian Installer. 2. Reboot This is the blocker for this install. When the machine reboots, the system says that there isn't any SCSI bootable device. I provide below the grub-installer trace just in case, but it seems everything is fine from here. Moreover /dev/sdb1 is rightly marked as bootable in the partition table. I haven't any idea on what's wrong. I have kept the SCSI disk on which this install was done for any post-mortem examination. So if you need any logs, please just ask.
