I had to exit from the installer, execute a shell command: #modprobe forcedeth and then back into the installer. I was wondering why the initial kernel didn't have the forcedeth module instaled or whether it was a problem with the detection of the nForce 3 controler. Another thing that is a bit annoying, and that may be due to my own lack of knowledge, is the boot utility (either grub or lilo) which doesn't do what I would like it to. I was usually starting another OS on /dev/sda1, with the Bios boot device being the associated SATA disk. I started installing debian on a PATA disk, at /dev/hda1, and I changed the boot sequence in the BIOS to go for IDE0 as primary disk. The installer does detect that there's another OS installed, and puts it in the boot menu, but trying to start it form the boot loader doesn't work. Of course, if I revert to having the SATA disk as primary boot from the Bios I can boot on /dev/sda1 - but I can't boot my debian, of course. I did that because I didn't want the boot loader to mess up with the other OS (which I cannot afford to lose) but that was certainly a bad idea. I'd appreciate any thought on the subject.
