 AFAICT these parts of the log show that you _do_ have a working network 
 connection and the installer is able to download the Release file.
 
 Yes, but this log has been written by the previous install, which was 
 successfull. The install that I have tryed today wasn't successful and 
 dhclient never received a repond from the dhcp server.
 
 Have you tried using a different mirror?
 
 Yes.

Please confirm that the working install was with AMD64
and the failing install is with i386.


Finding back which version did work, would be really helpfull.

Well I'll try to explain it better... I have tested 3 installations.

First was with AMD64 daily netboot and was successfull.
Second was with I386 daily netboot and was NOT successfull.
Third was with AMD64 daily netboot and was NOT successfull.

What the hell ?!!! Eh I don't know ! It's very strange and that's why I 
wonder, maybe I'm lost and I say bullshits. I don't want you to spend 
your time because of me saying bullshits. Maybe the best is to forget 
all that I have said.



If you want to continue, the /var/log/installer/lsb-release of the first 
installation (it's still on my hard drive) says it was done with :


DISTRIB_ID=Debian
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Debian GNU/Linux installer
DISTRIB_RELEASE=3.1 (installer build 20060128)


And I'm sure the third installation was done with this file :

http://amd64.debian.net/debian-installer/daily/netboot/mini.iso

in its today version (20060204).


What could be the problem ?

- something has been broken between 20060128 and 20060204
- my network sucks... I don't see what it can be, I have tested with two 
different ethernet cables, but who knows !
- another hardware problem (I use Asus A8N-VM CSM, it's NForce 430 with 
onboard gigabit ethernet)

- I have no idea :/


I join with this mail the files found in /var/log/installer/.
The files in /var/log/installer/cdebconf/ are downloadable by http 
because of the size (1776 ko) : http://fornever.free.fr/cdebconf.zip



If somebody can send me the 20060128 AMD64 netboot I could do the 
test... because I don't have it anymore on my hard drive nor on CD :/

No. I downloaded the same image just now and it works perfectly for me.

Possibly.

There has been no change in the kernel used in the time between your 
successful install and now.

It would have been very nice if you'd mentioned before you were using the 
mini.iso and were not doing a real netboot. It makes a slight difference 
in that in a real netboot the network would have to be working for the 
initial boot. With the mini.iso this is not the case.

My conclusion again: the problem is on your side!

 I join with this mail the files found in /var/log/installer/.

There are no attachments, but I doubt they will tell us anything useful.

Please do some investigating on your own network (packet sniffer). The 
problem really is there, not in the installer. We cannot help you.
If you need further help, please ask on the debian-user list, not here.

If you find there is a problem in the installer after all, you're welcome 
to report it of course.

Cheers,
FJP
