[House-cleaning on bugreports] This bug reports about a Broadcom ethernet adapter beeing unable to work because the firmware was not available from the attached usb storage device. Peter: do you have a possibility to test, if this bug still exists? I think there is a good chance, that if works for you now. Please try a daily build testing d-i image from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/.

I added the firmware from the firmware-bnx2 package into the initrd (we pxeboot the servers) to fix this FWIW. You can't download it via udeb since it could be the network adapter you are trying to use!

Well, dmesg output shows, that device is properly identified (vendor, name, capacity) and after "Assuming drive cache: write through" line follows the line: sda: sda1 So I can assume, that partition reads correctly. Output from list-devices disk /dev/cciss/c0d0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc Output from list-devices partition /dev/cciss/c0d0p1 /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 /dev/cciss/c0d0p5 /dev/cciss/c0d0p6 /dev/device /dev/holders /dev/power /dev/queue /dev/slaves /dev/subsystem /dev/sda1 Note: the "/dev garbage" I mentioned before was regarding the /dev/device etc.. As one can see, the /dev/sda1 IS at the end of the list. So, why it dosen't work? I went through syslog. All partitions and devices, listed in above lists, are attempted to mount (failing with Invalid parameter though), however I never see any attempt to mount /dev/sda1 there! Never ever! Could this be some bad cycle design issue? Then, however, why would it succed when I mount the /dev/sda1 to /media manually?

Could you watch dmesg log and see if it reads the partition table of your USB stick successfully?

Bingo!
It is really the mount issue! I just manually mounted /dev/sda1 to /media
and whoila, the firmware is found now!
Maybe the script dosen't try to mount the sd{a|b|c}1, just the sd{a|b|c}
and therefore it must fail!

Well, I tested daily build from 20080729, and yes, the installer prompts
for these files. However, I can't figure out, how could I give it to
him. I have put them on the root of usb pendrive, they are exactly the
files that he needs, and it still asks for them again and again.
Could you look closely at the syslog (Alt+F4, or Alt+F2 and
/var/log/syslog) for firmware related issues?
You can also edit (using nano) /bin/check-missing-firmware and add a
"set -x" at the beginning of the script. This will trace its execution
in the syslog.

Package: debian-installer Version: 20080522 I'm testing the Lenny weekly build 2008-07-21, and the installer fails to detect Broadcom network adapter, that Etch has had no problem with. I have several machines like this HP BL465, and Debian is anticipated to run on them, so please, fix the detection ;-) I don't know, whether it has something to do with, but I choosed not to run PCMCIA, however I have been asked immediately for PCMCIA parameters.
