Hi First idea, check the integrity with md5sum from hd-media and iso cdrom.
You are running the installation though vmware. Try the same configuration of network (bridget or nat) on a "live-CD" and check if dhcp configuration it's ok. Are strange tris syslog lines combination : May 2 15:32:27 dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down May 2 15:35:10 kernel: [ 276.053093] r8169: eth0: link up May 2 15:35:10 netcfg[9936]: INFO: eth0 is connected. May 2 15:35:10 dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down and this ones: May 2 15:35:20 kernel: [ 286.051470] r8169: eth0: link up May 2 15:35:20 dhclient: receive_packet failed on eth0: Network is down Try to execute only "dhclient" on a shell terminal (in the busybox, alt+f2) in the failed step. You can try with another version of lenny, 5.0.0, or with the "full-CD" verison too. 2009/5/2 Steve Dean <[email protected]> > Oriol: > > I found the Web server option and attaching the outputs.
