Please add:
Error scenario: when doing a network install, on recent machines, the
network card seems to not respond (no DHCP answer received for example)
Why: problem with APIC
Also the other problem is nForce motherboards, as there are no nForce
drivers
included (I know they are propietary)
For the future, would it be possible for the installer to prompt for
additional drivers.
It already does in expert mode...
And do what?
All the commercial versions ship with the appropriate drivers. AFAIK,
the NForce drivers are only needed for the on-board network card? For
network installs, it should be possible to create a driver disk (Thomas
has done this before I think?)
Yeah,
so for nForce network, you need to compile the module against the correct
kernel,
and copy the resulting 'nvnet.o' to a ext2 formatted floppy...
Happy days.
