Package: installation-reports
Version: sarge
Severity: grave

I downloaded sarge-i386-netinst.iso and burned it. The CD boots correctly and after I 
start the network installation process by typing "net", the required ethernet module 
"sis900" is detected properly. Unfortunately, every attempt to load the module into 
memory is rejected and the system prints a message as following:
installer[52]: running cmd 'modprobe -v sis900 '
installer[52]: modprobe: Can't locate module sis900

Manually loading the NIC driver in a shell fails as well and my ethernet adapter is 
incompatible to any other module. After I changed into the .../net/ directory and 
listed all files there, I figured out that there are several modules for network 
adapters but the required file sis900.o seems to be missing. I definitely know, that 
this module exists and is working well (because I am using it under a debian based 
distribution called KNOPPIX) Unfortunately, it seems to be missing on the minimum 
installation CD. If there is any workaround (like loading my module from hda3), I will 
be grateful for your hints.

Regards, Florian
