Please say what medium you used for the iso, how the iso was put on it and which operating system you used to do it.

Have you checked...? - The ISOs checksum integrity - For a bad CD media With the virtual machine function all. But over and with this laptop, not! The virtual machine loads a different set of network drivers (intel), so no firmware is needed. Anyway, from the VM how are you loading the ISO, from a CD or using the plain ISO file? It can be that the CD media itself is damaged or wrong. Load firmware, after unload firmware, stay in waiting! I would try to install from another media source (USB) if possible or try with the official Debian install CD and load the firmware apart, from an external source, as described here: http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware#Firmware_during_the_installation Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Your log was selective in its content; now you are selective in what questions you choose to answer. :) Your log also shows only /dev/sda? Was it for the HDD install?

Read Section 4.3.1. at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s03.html.en 2. Put firmware-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso on your Linux machine. Insert a USB stick into a port on the Linux machine. Type 'dmesg'. This will tell you at the end what the name of the device is. Then cat firmware-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso /dev/sdX where X will be b or c etc. 3. Boot the machine from the USB stick. An alternative is: 1. Put debian-6.0.5-i386-xfce+lxde-CD-1.iso on your Linux machine. Do the same as in 2 above. 2. Read the link Camaleón gave you. Obtain firmware.tar.gz from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/firmware/ 3. Make a FAT16 partition on your second USB stick with cfdisk. Format the partition with mkfs.vfat. Copy firmware.tar.gz to the partition. 4. Boot with the first USB stick and insert the second one if the installer asks you to provide firmware. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
