Hi Geert,
Thanks for replying.
I read those 2 bug reports you mentioned and noticed that they both used the
amd64 build rather than the i386 build I was using... am I correct in
assuming that the amd64 build should be used for Core 2 Duo processors? I
downloaded the latest amd64 builds and have managed to get a USB install
working.
In doing this I noticed that the daily i386 USB installer I had used was
using a 2.6.17 kernel, while the daily CD images are using 2.6.18 - which is
presumably why I was getting the mismatched kernel errors. When I first got
the error I downloaded fresh daily builds again to make sure I had the same
versions, so unless I mucked up the copy to the USB, I believe that the i386
USB daily builds are out of sync with the CD images (or at least, they were
at 31/1/2007).
Thanks again,
Toby

Hi,
I have been unable to install Etch on a Core 2 Duo machine with the Intel
DG965SS motherboard.
Etch RC1 does not recognise the CD Drive (it's an LG DVD-ROM), I believe
this is an issue due to the CD being PATA and the HD being SATA on a
Marvell controller. I tried every trick I could find on the web but none
of
them worked.
The daily build for 30/1/2007 had the same issue - I downloaded from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso
I then tried a USB install of RC1 and got further, but the ethernet card
could not be detected to complete the install. It's an Intel 82566DC
which
I believe should work with the e1000 driver, the driver was visible with
lsmod, but there was nothing detected in dmesg. I tried a few other Intel
drivers but no success either.
I tried the daily build from USB but got the error "No kernel modules
could
be found" - and something about a possible mismatch with the installer
version (I'm sure you know the one). I've never had to do a USB install
before, so it's possible I did it wrong. I downloaded the daily USB
snapshot from
http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/hd-media/boot.img.gz on
31/1/2007, zcat'ted it to the USB stick, then mounted the USB and cp'ed
the
businesscard.iso onto it (I downloaded it again on 31/1/2007) and used
this
to boot the new system.
I have submitted this as bug #409224 with the following report:
Package: installation-reports
Boot method: Business Card CD (RC1 and snapshot 30/1/2007)/USB (RC1 and
31/1/2007 snapshot)
Image version: Firstly RC1 from ftp.au.debian.org

A few days ago was on this mailinglist the bugreport #394344,
it does reference other BRs like #407759
So I suggest to read http://bugs.debian.org/394344 and
http://bugs.debian.org/407759
and write a follow up E-mail to 407759 AT bugs.debian.org
Cheers
Geert Stappers
