Well, I still believe this is a problem with udev. CCing Marco.
Marco, a while ago, you suggested that the problem could be due to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=389250 but I still see the problem with 2.6.20 which includes the patch that apparently fixes 389250. Do you any further ideas ? Martin, in the meantime, what do you think about adding a script to the installer to add the following rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules: # Built-in Ethernet Adapter (NPE-B microcode not present) SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="ixp4xx_mac", NAME="eth1" It is a hack, but adding this rule causes the USB Ethernet adapter to be named eth0 as opposed to eth1_rename. The system would therefore be accessible after an installation without the NPE-B microcode, which means that we could downgrade the severity of the bug. I'm not sure where to put such a script in the installer though. Gordon -- Gordon Farquharson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
