I am trying my first Debian install on a new desktop using the 31r4-i386-netinst CD. I start with options "linux26 acpi=off". When it gets to detecting hardware, it says "No Ethernet card was detected". If I manually select driver "e100: Intel PRO/100 Ethernet", the error repeats. Booting with no options (i.e. 2.4 kernel), the same problem occurs but I am offered the chance to pass e100 parameters. But I want the 2.6 kernel.
The NIC is on the Intel D946GZIS motherboard; the manual calls it an Intel 82562G PLC. The NIC works when I boot from the XP partition. The XP device manager reports it as: Intel PRO/100 VE at PCI bus 4, device 8, function 0 Memory Range 90000000-90000FFF, I/O Range 1000-103F, IRQ 20 driver 8.0.27.0 (e100b325) I also have a working Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) partition that sees the NIC. lsmod shows driver e100 loaded. /proc/interrupts shows: 50: 63 IO-APIC-level eth0 (I gave up on Edgy for other reasons and am now trying to install Debian over it.) Debian bug 334754 seems to describe a similar situation and says it was fixed in a newer discover1-data. I don't know if that would fix it or how I would invoke the new discover1-data from the netinst CD. I would welcome suggestions on how to have the netinst install recognize the NIC. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
