Machine: Compaq LTE5150 Laptop Processor:Intel Pentium Memory:40MB Partitions: hda1 710MB swap 96MB (set up by d-i automatically) Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn: Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Install base system: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Install tasks: [E] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [E] Comments/Problems: Network was set up automatically by DHCP during installation by d-i, but I cannot get the PCMCIA NIC (a NE2000 clone) to work now that the machine boots from HD. I have tried boot options pci=noapic, acpi =off and pci=nobios but without success :-( I watched parts of the installation on VT4 and saw that e.g. telnet was not installed due to a full swap partition ("out of memory") I cannot load the modules pcmcia or pcmcia_core, I can only find the files pcmcia.ko and pcmcia_core.ko in /lib/modules/$`uname - r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ As I cannot supply any packets without working LAN connection (no CD- ROM drive, no USB) I seem to be at a dead end. A rerun of the d-i failed to resize the partitions (as documented) but I watched the instllation on vt4 and saw: not starting inetd cannot read target /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source lots of obsolete command TITLE Config called this was with the packets pkgsel popularity-contest x11-common ucf fontconfig-config uswsusp apmd a warning ./MAKEDEV do not know how to make device "snapshot" and after reboot detecting PCMCIA bridge type failed, defaulting to i82365 I take it, that is the reason for my not being able to bring up the PCMCIA-NIC after reboot any more. can I configure it by hand? and why does it work nicely with the d-i but not afterwards? trying sarge again this evening :-( sarge ran nicely on this machine with the backported kernel 2.6.16 (needed for mppe128) greetings Nikolaus PS: I am only sending this because the homepage asked for installation reports. This is *not* a complaint. -- Nikolaus Gaberszig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
