But when doing modprobe ne2k-pci, modprobe failed with "can't load module". Investigating showed that insmod ./ne2k-pci.o produces a lot of unresolved symbols. Loading isa-pnp.o and 8390.o with insmod by hand fixes unresolved symbols in ne2k-pci, and made it loadable. But ethdetect still was not able to load the module using modprobe, I had to load it in the shell by hand. Same effect on the installed system, I had to insmod isa-pnp.o and 8390.o to get network working. dhcp networking failed with the following error message: installer[2084]: /sbin/pump: error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I had to configure the network using static IP. One thing which was strange is that after the installation (in the installed system) ifup appeared to use dhcp. It did not use the IP I configured in d-i. --- I installed using brltty! yes, I did! It only partly worked (had to do: 3 (shell) mknod /dev/tty0 c 4 0 brltty -b ts -d /dev/tts/0 (will fix this in the next brltty-udeb upload). base-installer still doesn't handle brltty installation in the target system, but that was obvious from the start since I didnt implement that yet. Besides the problem with the NIC, great work! I actually installed sarge! -- CYa, Mario | Debian Developer <URL:http://debian.org/> | Get my public key via finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 1024D/7FC1A0854909BCCDBE6C102DDFFC022A6B113E44
