Making a custom installer is a lot of work for a one time use. Since the guy in japan has already done that work, just use that. I ahve used that in the past. http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ For amd64 the installer cd is: http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/2.6.32/amd64/lenny-custom-0116.iso For i386 the isntaller cd is: http://mirror.home-dn.net/d-i/2.6.32/lenny-custom-0116.iso They have 2.6.32 kernels at this time according to the main page. He has been doing this for Lenny, Etch and Sarge, so he has many years of experience making updated installer images. After installing, add backports.debian.org to your sources.list and use the 2.6.32 kernel from there. backports is now an official Debian feature. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: l need help
As Lennart says, you could try a ready to use d-i iso from http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/. Download one of the custom images and try it because it would maybe the easiest way for you.

Re: l need help
So, after a quit research with google, it seams like that Lennarts information is correct. The e1000 driver used by the Lenny installer seams like to old for you network card. I would suggest to build an own kernel for the d-i. Could be little bit tricky.

lspci -n shows the numeric value which is easier to lookup.
I think it should be this one:
vendor: 8086 ("Intel Corporation"), device: 10de ("82567LM-3 Gigabit Network
Connection")
Support was added to Linux by this git commit:
commit f4187b56e1f8a05dd110875d5094b21b51ebd79b
Author: Bruce Allan
Date: Tue Aug 26 18:36:50 2008 -0700
e1000e: add support for 82567LM-3 and 82567LF-3 (ICH10D) parts
Add support for new LOM devices on the latest generation ICHx platforms.
Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan
Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
2.6.26 was released July 13 2008, so there is no way Debian 5.0 can have
support for that network card.
2.6.32 from backports would though.
