Where did you find that URL?

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.

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? > > Output from lspci: > 00:0e.0 Network controller: Eicon Technology Corporation: Unknown device e005 > (rev 01) > 00:0f.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
