A good thing would be if you could use a pendrive to save your installer syslog and the output of dmesg. It could allow us to see how it has been identified. Those are for i386. I guess this is what you're looking for. If it is not, please let me know and I point you to the image link. I downloaded the daily for amd64 yesterday and just tried installing now. It appears that the DHCP configuration is successful this time, but now I'm running into some weirdness with partitioning. I have a 20gb NTFS partition booting Windows XP right now... After that 20gb partition I create a large ext3 partition and a 2gb swap. When I create the swap partition, the installer pops up a window that only has ?? ?? written in it, and go back and continue options. When I go back to the partition overview window, it only displays my hard drive information and no longer shows any of the partitions on the drive. Not sure what to make of it, but again I didn't continue with the installation. Any ideas? Thanks for the help so far :) Daniel
DHCP Config fail on Lenny stable
Hi, I'm trying to install Lenny on my desktop PC and I'm running into some issues with the installer. After attempting to bring up the network using DHCP I get an error saying that configuration has failed. I tried manually configuring the network settings but I'm unable to verify that it has worked, and at this point I've held off on the rest of installation since I don't want to nuke my current OS only to run into hardware compatibility issues after installing Debian. To be honest I'm not sure what kind of information would be really useful here, but I'm willing to supply anything that might help. I've tried googling this topic for a few days, and I've looked at archives of this mailing list but I haven't really come across a solution, just a few slightly similar bug reports (closest is probably http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2009/05/msg00176.html). I'm installing on an AMD64 PC, with the Asus A8V mobo (onboard Marvell Yukon 88E8001/8003/8010 nic). I've tried both the netinst and the full CD1 images for the AMD64 arch, and verified their hashes. Is there anything I can do here to help diagnose the problem or to work around it? Any help is appreciated :) Daniel 20C2 D248 F235 4419 83D5 C3F4 4F9A F331 CF6A F679 http://www.bonetree.net/pgp.asc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
