The installer is work in progress and the best way to find info is to 
check the bug-list for it and submit a bug for your problem if it is not 
on the list.

The best place for that would be [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You should use the report form that is on the installer page to report
this.  I had same problem and thought they had fixed it in the most
recent version. I think it has an "auto" for eth0 which it cannot find
and then bails permanently of setting up the networking even though
it finds the card later.

I find the auto hardware detect is nice, but has rough edges and if a
modprobe fails, it tends to lock the installer in my experience.

New sarge installer casues problems on laptops

2004-04-19 Thread dbarker

I just installed sarge using the new installer last week.

There is a problem: for some reason the startup scripts are in the
wrong sequence, so that the system attempts to configure the network
before the PCMCIA card manager, so that eth0 isn't found.

I can more or less get around this by manually typing dhclient after
startup but...

Also perhaps related: I am sure that before (running sarge, but
gradually upgraded from woody install nearly a year ago) when I
unsuspended the machine from apm -s, the network came back up
(assuming I was still attached to the same physical net).

This no longer happens and after an unsuspend the network is totally
hooped and I have to reboot.

So: a) whoever's in charge of the installer, the sequencing of startup
scripts need to be fixed and b) can anyone suggest a way to stop the
network before a suspecnd so that I can restart afterwards reliably?
