Drivers for ethernet devices are split, for space reasons, into two udeb packages. The first udeb has the popular drivers. The second udeb gets retrieved after CDrom detect, because it is on the CDrom. Did you let Debian-Installer run cdrom-detect? Failed the loading of network drivers again after retrieving udebs?

Hello Frans, looks like you have chosen the adventureous path :-) Frans Pop [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, After an installation-report for a mostly successful install using Beta-2, I received a suggestion from Erich Waelde to try: http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sarge_d-i/i386/current/ (I downloaded today's build: Mar. 2 2004) However, this fails during hardware detect.

I noticed that on the cdrom the contents of the /install directory have been reorganized when compared to Beta-2: some .img files moved to subdir floppy. Could this be the cause of the problem. Sounds to me as you did use expert boot option ... If this is correct, then in the first round of hardware detection, I have seen ide-disk fail to load --- this is because it is loaded already, but the red error screen sure looks bad. And consequently a message is displayed about missing modules for your hardware. If this is still what you see, then a.) change to vc/2 by pressing 'Ctrl-Alt-F2' hit 'Enter' to get a root shell type 'lsmod' at the prompt. Check that your modules are there. -- if not, try to load them with modprobe -v name_of_module if the output indicates errors, be sure to note the exact message. b.) return to vc/1 by pressing 'Ctrl-alt-F1' be brave and hit 'Enter' to acknowledge the error message. I have not seen a problem, but the error message is showing up with DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low (same as expert) or DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium If what I describe does not apply to your case, then please send more details, like exact error messages, also found on vc/3 and vc/4, in /target/var/log if they occur in a later stage. Also mention the exact image location and file date, along with any boot parameters you chose. Be sure to check out the help available with 'F1' at the boot prompt.

Thus modprobe -v 8139too fails with no module by that name found So the question is, whether the correct udeb is missing altogether or failed to install. this shows up in /var/log/syslog as user.notice hw-detect: Detecting hardware... user.notice hw-detect: Loding modules... user.notice hw-detect: Detected module '8139too' for Realtek ... user.notice hw-detect: Trying to load module '8139too' user.notice hw-detect: Missing module '8139too'. grep 'DEBUG: install nic-' /var/log/syslog returns nothing. find /cdrom/pool/main -name nic-\* finds /cdrom/pool/main/l/linux-kernel-di/nic-...-2.4.22-...udeb but uname -a says Linux (none) 2.4.25-1-386 ... so the available ones do not match the kernel version, it seems to me.
