Bug#512546: Same problem on Dell Optiplex 760 with Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10de] (rev 02)
Today I encountered this issue on a Dell Optiplex 760 while trying to setup my new workstation at work. Both the Etch and Etch 'N' Half D-I, which I initially tried, fail to detect the network card. The Lenny D-I RC2 and the daily build of 2009-02-09 also fail to detect the network card. Manually selecting the e1000e driver also fails.

Re: Draft for lenny release announcement
As I understand, this may has a whole other meaning, when installing Debian on a HDD that has a Windows installation, I wanted to use grub to load linux, but didn`t like installing it to the MBR, so I installed it on the Debian root partition boot record, after the installation procedure, I needed to set the Debian partition active in order to keep my mbr as is, and be able to run the Debian system. so maybe the Debian installer makes the debian partition active if you instruct grub to install its self on the root partition?

e1000e: add support for 82567LM-3 and 82567LF-3 (ICH10D) parts
Add support for new LOM devices on the latest generation ICHx
platforms.
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.28
This kernel is not even in unstable yet, so I think support for this
hardware will have to wait till Lenny 'N' Half at least?
In Ubuntu support for these ICH10 NICs was added to kernel 2.6.27-6.9:
[ Tim Gardner ]
* Add support in e1000e for a couple of ICH10 PCI IDs
* Enable CONFIG_INPUT_PCSPKR=m
- LP: #275453
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/275453/comments/3
Apparently they merged some changes from the e1000e driver from SourceForge:
+ /* Even those these are ICH10 devices, the ICH9 setup (which really
+* uses ICH8) works fine. Just drop this patch when it collides with
+* upstream. I ripped this from the SourceForge e1000e 0.4.1.7 driver.
+*/
+#define E1000_DEV_ID_ICH10_D_BM_LM0x10DE
+#define E1000_DEV_ID_ICH10_D_BM_LF0x10DF
+ { PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_ICH10_D_BM_LM), board_ich9lan },
+ { PCI_VDEVICE(INTEL, E1000_DEV_ID_ICH10_D_BM_LF), board_ich9lan },
+
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18283516/linux_2.6.27-5.8_2.6.27-6.9.diff.gz
Using the Intel drivers from SourceForge may be an option for Lenny
users with recent Intel ICH10 NICs.
Good luck with the release this weekend!
Regards,
Bas

Did so when the discussion started waiting for a consensus. Seems we reached it ;) Dunno, I think this feature is very important for non-tech-savvy users. Thus, it's a good selling point which means it would be good to mention it in the release announcement which a lot of people will read.

Re: Draft for lenny release announcement
[ readding debian-boot since the discussion is going to their topic ] Hi! Justin B Rye schrieb: [ several improvements ] Applied. If that last sentence is trying to say without having to boot from it (with the assumption that my BIOS wasn't set up to boot from removable media by default in the first place) then I would suggest: The installer can also be started directly from Microsoft Windows. Okay, that's a bit tricky: Under normal circumstances you would reboot need to check, if your bios allows to boot from CD/DVD/Blu-ray, and could then boot from your optical drive continuing with the installation. With win32-loader you can insert your disc while running windows. It will add an entry to Windows boot loader (including some settings like timezone and language IIRC) and when you reboot you can start the installation process from windows boot menu without needing to check your bios settings. (d-i folk, is that summary correct?) There was some discussion on the debian-boot list about that, while searching for a good phrase for that. Currently that sentence has been removed, but maybe you can come up with something? Best regards, Alexander signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Aren't most BIOSes set up to boot from removable media before hard disk? IMO this is a lot of noise about nothing. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
