The machine booted ok off the CD Rom, but d-i could not find the cdrom when it tried looking. This is due to a known problem with the Linux Kernel. Could not install network driver (e1000) because it is on cd. First Bug: To get the cd image onto the machine, I used a USB storage device. There was no log output (console 3) when it was plugged in and no device to mount. The ehci_hcd module was installed and looked like it should have worked. Fix: modprobed uhci_hcd. The log said that the kernel then detected the root hub and the storage device. Mounted ok. Second Bug: Trying to mount the cd image (business card iso image) failed due to no loopback devices. Nothing I did could get around it. Copied the iso image directly on to the usb storage device (ie cp *.iso /dev/sdc1) and mounted usb storage device as iso9660. Third Bug: Mounted usb storage like cdrom but d-i looked for /dist//Release on the cd, which doesn't exist. Copied contents of cd to /cdrom directory and copied /dist/sarge/Release (and some other files that I don't remember) to /dist/. Seemed to work. Rest of install when fine, rebooted ok and has been running fine for the last 6 days. Very nice, second d-i install i've done. Looks good and easy to use. Thanks d-i developers, keep up the good work. Lee Begg
