Bug#468779: installation-reports: Install failed to recognize Intel Nineveh 82566DM adapter network on Econel 100 S2

2008-03-06 Thread John Plate
Hi

Today I followed the instructions given in my former mail. 

On a well configured machine it will take 20 minutes (all included) to
make the new driver module. 

It worked for me.

 I'm sorry, but that's a huge document and I have no idea which part of it 
 you are referring to.
 
 Also, please always reply to the bug report or the mailing list when

The url discribes how to install the needed driver just a few pages
down the document. I saw that the driver is GPL.

There's nothing really we can do about this in the installer until the 
kernel is updated to a version that _does_ recognize/support your 
controller.

We should be updating to a 2.6.24 kernel within a few weeks, so you may want 
to try again then.

You can also try installing Etch using the unofficial images from Kenshi 
Muto [1], which already use a 2.6.24 kernel.

Cheers,
FJP

Bug#468779: installation-reports: Install failed to recognize Intel Nineveh 82566DM adapter network on Econel 100 S2

2008-03-01 Thread John Plate
Package: installation-reports
Severity: normal

Debian testing (downloaded Feb 28, 2008) failed to recognize the
network adapter Intel Nineveh 82566DM on a Fujitsu-Siemens Econel 100
S2 server. The hardware is described in ds_prim-econel-100-s2.pdf. 

Another network adapter cannot be used in the machine as it requires a
3,3 volt version said to be difficult to find. 

Apparently Intel knows about the problems, see

installed)
