Package: debian-installer
Version: 7.0 beta1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
- download debian installer 7.0 beta1 i386 netinst iso
- download hd-media boot.img.gz
- download firmware tarball and extract it
- zcat boot.img.gz on a USB drive
- add the iso
- add the firmware/ directory
- boot the USB drive containing the installer on an IBM ThinkPad X200
* What was the outcome of this action?
The installer gets stuck at network hardware detection: only the title is
displayed, nothing happens for more than half an hour.
Last message in the console log is:
mount: sending ioctl 5310 to a partition!
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Get the choice of which network hardware to use or get an error message
explaining what happens.
Cheers
