Hello all. I've got some weird problems installing debian sarge or etch (both the latest versions) on a Netra X1.
First of all in both versions (sarge and etch) are problems with the detection of the network drivers. By default the 'dmfe' driver is detected, but this should be the 'tulip' driver. So while installing debian (via netinstall using dhcp/tftp) I open a command line and type: modprobe -r dmfe modprobe tulip After that the network card works and the installation goes fine until the first reboot. After that I first get problems with the network card AGAIN... Since the 'dmfe' module is loaded again, which gives the following error repeated until the module dmfe is unloaded: SABRE0: PCI SERR signal asserted. SABRE0: PCI bus error, PCI_STATUS [caa0] eth0: Tx timeout, resetting So (on sarge, which in my examples im using) I type: echo dmfe >> /etc/hotplug/blacklist echo skip dmfe >> /etc/discover.conf To disable the driver on boot. After that the network card works and these errors are not shown anymore. BUT.... I keep getting weird errors like: sleep: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/librt.so.1: invalid ELF header dpkg: `ldconfig' not found on PATH. dpkg: `start-stop-daemon' not found on PATH. dpkg: `install-info' not found on PATH. dpkg: `update-rc.d' not found on PATH. dpkg: 4 expected program(s) not found on PATH.
