Package: debian-install Version: netinstall sarge amd64 Severity: minor
In install-report.template there's a request to send an installation report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I did, I got "Message with no Package: tag cannot be processed." These installation reports are surely valuable and I suggest you provide a working submission method in install-report.template. I'm resubmitting as a bugreport, though this doesn't really seem appropriate.

It needs the forcedeth driver, which D-I correctly loaded; however, this driver did not work during my install. In fact loading this driver prevented the other NIC from working, so I was stumped for hours, until I realized the sk98lin was the right driver, the NIC was working, and I just had to unload forcedeth. I subsequently installed the 2.6.12-rc1 kernel from kernel.org and the driver worked. The Gigabyte K8NS Ultra-939 board also has two SATA chipsets, the sil 3512 and the nforce3 250. The first was detected during install and the right sata_sil driver loaded; this allowed the installation to go ahead, though I saw only one of three drives. After booting, I realized there was a second chipset and loaded the sata_nv driver. Looking over the /var/log/debian-installer logs, I see sata_nv was also detected, but somehow those drives didn't show up. Not sure why. <Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments and ideas you had during the initial install.> I discovered you could use Ctrl-Alt-F1 etc to see in more detail what was going on during the install; this was extremely helpful, and it might be worth dropping a hint somewhere. Overall, you've done really good work. It's still hard to get all the pieces in place. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.12-rc1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
