Is it a 3com 9xx network card? Those have been problematic for me many times for network installs. I don't know why, and have never had the time to diagnose it. Since they're such common hardware around here I started carrying a 160 GB Maxtor with cooker and current release trees mirrored from uninett.no on it in a USB enclosure instead of doing the internet/network install. That always works. (-: > The logs (alt-F3) show that the machine got the correct info from my > DHCP server and loaded the driver for the net card successfully, shows > no errors at all (?) Guess it wasn't the network interface then since that's where I've seen failures before with NIC problems. > Any idea what in tarnation is goin' wrong? > > Thanks! > > BTW, if anyone can point me to an FTP with the ISO's, I'd reeeealllly > appreciate it, save me this hassle. I wonder if the problem is related to the fact that all the install images in the 9.2 tree have changed to get rid of the LG problem since I checked yesterday? There's no longer a .10mdkBOOT kernel image and that's likely what was on your network install floppy. You'll have to rewrite that disk I think. I say that because I ran rsync against the 9.2 tree a few minutes ago on my repository drive(s) and noticed there have been updates. Try a new network image; it couldn't hurt.
