Comments/Problems: Network was set up automatically by DHCP
during installation by d-i, but I cannot get the PCMCIA NIC (a NE2000
clone) to work now that the machine boots from HD. I have tried boot
options pci=noapic, acpi =off and pci=nobios but without success :-(
I watched parts of the installation on VT4 and saw that e.g. telnet
was not installed due to a full swap partition (out of memory)
I cannot load the modules pcmcia or pcmcia_core, I can only find the
files pcmcia.ko and pcmcia_core.ko in /lib/modules/$`uname -
r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/
As I cannot supply any packets without working LAN connection (no CD-
ROM drive, no USB) I seem to be at a dead end.
A rerun of the d-i failed to resize the partitions (as documented)
but I watched the instllation on vt4 and saw:
not starting inetd
cannot read target /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source
deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source
lots of
obsolete command TITLE Config called
this was with the packets
pkgsel
popularity-contest
x11-common
ucf
fontconfig-config
uswsusp
apmd
a warning
./MAKEDEV do not know how to make device snapshot
and after reboot
detecting PCMCIA bridge type failed, defaulting to i82365
I take it, that is the reason for my not being able to bring up the
PCMCIA-NIC after reboot any more.
can I configure it by hand?
and why does it work nicely with the d-i but not afterwards?
trying sarge again this evening :-(
sarge ran nicely on this machine with the backported kernel 2.6.16
(needed for mppe128)
greetings Nikolaus
PS: I am only sending this because the homepage asked for
installation reports. This is *not* a complaint.
