Install a network card in a pci slot that doesn't require a driver with binary firmware to operate, install with 2.6.11 kernel using some netinst that has that, then build a new kernel with all the options you want, or use the bcm5700 package to build a driver for your card using the normal debian 2.6.11 kernel.

I used to get a blank screen on many IBM thinkpads with woody and potato. Using the boot option: video=vga16:off always solved it for me, since that disabled the vga16 fb driver that apparently kills the display on some notebooks. I had to use that to install sarge on a brand new Dell with some idiotic ati chip in it lately. Never had to with any system with an nvidia moile chip. Those just work.

Installation problems.
Hi all, I've have a dual Opteron system (MB Tyan 2885) which has a Broadcom ethernet interface (the infamous tg3 driver). I've also installed a SATA raid card (a very nice LSI 300-8x, uses the megaraid_mbox driver). My problem is this: how on earth do I install Debian on this system? If I boot unstable netinst I get ethernet working but not the raid system. Apparently a 2.6.11 kernel or newer is required for that. But Debian has removed the tg3 driver in that kernel.

Install onto that, then shuffle drives once you've got a minimal systems and working kernel installed. Alternatively you could try debootstrap from a live CD (eg. knoppix), assuming you can find one that supports all your hardware. This may involve an temporary i386 install.

Re: Installation problems.
Hello, You can find a build of kernel-nonfree-modules for 2.6.11 here: http://213.178.77.236/kernel/amd64/kernel-nonfree-modules-2.6.11-9-amd64-k8-smp_2.6.11-2_amd64.deb The package is not distributable by debian in its current state, until all firmware license issues are solved. At least for tg3, broadcom relicensed the firmware in linux-2.6.12. The debian kernel based on this version will ship with full tg32 support reenabled.

Newbie question - installation problems
I've just installed debian on an athlon 64 machine using the netinstall iso. I have my sources.list pointed towards debian-amd64.alioth.org/sarge/ testing. Is this right? Many of the things I try to install fail authentication, is that expected? thanks, ray

Re: Newbie question - installation problems
I'm not sure this the best advis, but to solve this, I got rid of package debsig-verify. without this package verification isn't done, so all packages are installed regardless of sig. Don't know why sigs check fail. may be because the amd64 packages aren't signed by the authors. my reasoning was that this was experimental stuff anyway. Ernest.

Installation problems (adduser cannot be installed)

However, as I try to install the base system it fails saying that adduser could not be installed, every time.
