The installation system does not detect this correctly and then inserts the wrong socket driver in /etc/default/pcmcia (line: PCIC=). This means that after the reboot, the network does no longer come up automagically and the whole installation process is hosed. correct hardware detection with wrong driver association: info: /bin/report-hw: discover: i82365;;;Texas Instruments;PCI1450; info: /bin/report-hw: discover: i82365;;;Texas Instruments;PCI1450; running installation system booted from CD: Jan 1 19:10:11 (none) syslog.info klogd: Intel PCIC probe: not found.

(please ignore the timestamps; my CMOS time is not yet set correctly, which leads apparently to strange timestamps in the log files ...) SUGGESTIONS: Give the option to select a keyboard with UK layout at the installation. It's marginally different from the US layout, but the differences are tiresome enough. Would it be possible to make the machine boot into a VESA console with more than 80x25, if supported by the hardware? If necessary, ask the user, what (s)he wants in an "expert mode". Improve the bug-tracking system in such a manner that it finds the pesudo-header "Package: installation-reports" even if it should happen not to be the first line of the message body. Better idea: Make that @&%$#! thing a true header: "X-Packages: installation reports". Best idea: accept both.
