Bug#311152: d-i didn't setup network correctly

[Christian Perrier]

 The install went good, all parts were correctly recognized but I 
 couldn't access outside network.
 I use a Zyxel P623-ME as ADSL Modem/Router, linked to a hub where other 
 2 machines are connected.
 After the reboot base-config started looking for apt-get files but 
 couldn't access the network, so I checked /etc/resolv.conf but my 
 nameservers were there.
 In the meanwhile other machines on the LAN could access the internet.
 I checked my routing table (# route -n) but it was just the same as 
 other machines.
 The VIA_RhineII module for LAN was correctly loaded (fact is, I could 
 ping other machines on LAN and get pinged, but couldn't ping google).


So, this may be summarized to name resolution not working after the base
system install, right ?

So far, we haven't seem much of such reports, so getting access to
more information about the installation process itself, and especially
the logs would be crucial to properly deal with this bug report.

Without them, I see no good way to have this bug report dealt with
properly and I indeed suggest closing it in a while if no-one pops up
with a better idea.

Yes, I guess yes.

I am really sorry I cannot help you out with this, but as I said it 
wasn't my machine and I had to hand it to the owner without conducting 
proper tests.
Only thing I am sure about is that I did everything as it is supposed to 
as far as downloading and burning the iso, and that all hardware was 
correctly setup by d-i.


Again, sorry. Hope didn't waste a lot of your time.

Comments/Problems:

I built this machine for a friend, using a Sempron 2400+ on an Asus 
A7V400-MX MoBo and 512MB of Kingmax RAM. HD was a 80GB Maxtor, DVD-Rom 
an LG. I wanted to debianize it just for fun, before installing 
Windows2000 for my pal.


The install went good, all parts were correctly recognized but I 
couldn't access outside network.
I use a Zyxel P623-ME as ADSL Modem/Router, linked to a hub where other 
2 machines are connected.
After the reboot base-config started looking for apt-get files but 
couldn't access the network, so I checked /etc/resolv.conf but my 
nameservers were there.

In the meanwhile other machines on the LAN could access the internet.
I checked my routing table (# route -n) but it was just the same as 
other machines.
The VIA_RhineII module for LAN was correctly loaded (fact is, I could 
ping other machines on LAN and get pinged, but couldn't ping google).


I installed Xandros OCE using the same values for eth0, and it worked 
flawlessly. Windows2000 worked too (altough it took almost 4 hours), so 
I exclude any hardware or LAN configuration problems.


I know this is not the best report ever, and I don't have the machine 
anymore to run more tests, but hope this can help.


Thanks for your attention!
