I've been trying to net-install sarge using the new installer. The install worked, in the sense that I now have useless but otherwise working sarge system.
The trouble is that is seems to be unable to communicate with my ethernet card, a Realtek RTL-8139, for which it has installed the 8139too module. I get the messages, repeated many many times: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0x45E1 ifconfig, route, etc., all tell me things are just fine, just like on the working woody system. I used diff on their outputs to confirm that they really don't have significant differences. The interrupt address of the realtek card differed, but isn't that allocated dynamically by plug&play anyway? It shouldn't be a hardware problem, because everything still works under the woody system I still have in another partition on the same machine. (a) Does anyone have an idea know what else needs to be done to get it to work? (b) I sent extensive installation reports about these failed installs -- bug#261745 for beta 4, and bug#262070 for daily build 20040727. Is that enough? Or are these just accumulated statistically and do I need to lodge some other kind of report somewhere? I do find it hard to imagine anyone reading all these installation reports and still having time to get any real debugging done! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
