Re: No kernel modules found on today amd64
Quoting Eugen Dedu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): And businesscard? Can this info be put on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer? It takes only 2-3 lines, but avoid all confusion (I imagine that many people put this question)... I can write myself these sentences if you wish. Well, the devel/d-i page assumes that ppl know what are the various images. After all, these are *development* pages. If I'm correct, businesscard/netinst are documented on cdimage.debian.org so I would not see any need to redocument this in the D-I pages. Maybe put a link... After our messages, I also biefly looked in the D-I manual (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual) for a reference...but didn't find one. As I looked *briefly*, that doesn't really mean anything..:) Now, pursuing the installation: - In modules to load, live-installer (Install the base system) seems bizarre. In fact, I AM installing the base system, so why proposing this as module? I imagine live-installer means another thing, I propose to explain better what is it. The modules to load part is meant for *special* installs. This is why it is not shown but in expert mode (did you use expert to boot). So, in short, you shouldn't pick a D-I module to load, *except if you have some specific needs*. - In modules to load, I have selected: eject-udeb, irda, cdrom-checker. After configure the clock, it goes back to Detect and mount CD-ROM instead of choosing the next item in the menu. Upon ENTER, it says that The CD-ROM drive contains a CD which cannot be used for installation... So I go myself after Configure the clock, i.e. to Detect disks. After that, it goes back again to Detect and mount CD-ROM and I manually change again to the item after Detect disks. That's expected. - The laptop has 2GB of memory, so it creates 4GB swap. This is a kernel question, but is it really necessary to have 4GB of swap? 2GB of memory is already sufficient to execute 2 linux systems in parallel :o) My previous laptop had 512MB of RAM, and 512MB RAM + 1GB swap it is still less than 2GB of memory of current laptop. This has been discussed in the past and I thought we reverted this swap==double of physical memory setting. Dunno in what conditions this was changed...or not. -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
No kernel modules found on today amd64
Hi, I have a MacBookPro, last version (June 2007). During installation from CD debian-testing-amd64-businesscard.iso, vesion oct7-0905UTC (today last version), md5sum d054222ff8db483c9f273015dda3d7b0: 1. I receive the following error: Load installer components from CD: No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch... However, if I press yes, I choose no other component, the installation continue. 2. I have had deselected floppy during modules to load step, and now, during network hardware detection, it prints that the floppy kernel module was detected as matching my hardware, but I have no floppy in my laptop! Maybe there is another module which needs it? 3. The installer afterwards prints Ethernet card not found on the system, but I have an Ethernet card in my laptop... And the installation stops by showing ... The failing step is: Detect network hardware. I can give more information very fast (today). I am very interested to install debian on this machine :o) Best regards, -- Eugen Dedu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: No kernel modules found on today amd64
Quoting Eugen Dedu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): With the ISO from the link above, the network detection is ok. However, it asks me about floppy module, but I have no floppy... I unselect the floppy module, I say no to PCMCIA services, and the DCCP (with Ethernet) works. I am doing the installation and keep you informed. Sorry, what's the difference between netboot and netinst? Is there a Web page explaining that? At http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/ netboot is absent... I think it would be useful to explain at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ in one sentence each of the types of boot. netboot is a very minimal image which leads you up to the network settings, then downloads all remaining components from a network mirror. netinst is a CD image that allows installing a Debian *base* system *without* the network. We all agree this is a kinda confusing name..:-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature
