Then, from the D-I main menu, restart the step which failed. Yes I did that already. The machine didn't boot though because it installed kernel 2.6.7, not 2.6.8 which includes the 3w-9xxx module. > For helping a better hardware recongnition, can you please post the > output of lspci -n and pspci -v to this bug report ?

However, I noticed that either 10 years of Linux/Unix system administration is not enough or maybe the translation is bad or maybe Finnish ain't the language to use with computers because I didn't know how to do the installation in Finnish. :D Mika -- Mika S.
