Comments/Problems:
Booting without additional options proceeded until network
configuration, where it didn't find any devices. Changing to the second
console and manually doing 'modprobe forcedeth' (after lots of googling
to determine that this is the one I needed) resulted in no success: The
driver aborted initialization with a "No such device" error.
The next attempt was booting with linux26, which got to network
configuration and tried to configure eth0 via DHCP. This failed with
timeouts. After checking many different things (cabling, DHCP server,
...) I finally noticed that the ethernet device still isn't configured
and eth0 was ip1394 instead, which got automatically loaded on the
existing FireWire interface.
Manually modprobing forcedeth works with the 2.6 kernel and gave me
eth1. In the installer, I returned to the main menu and restarted
network configuration. Now I could choose eth1, it DHCPed correctly,
and the rest of the installation went on flawlessly. After reboot, eth1
was correctly set up. Good work.
Apart from the fact that forcedeth just wasn't automatically loaded
correctly during installation, the ip1394 module provided eth0 and was
misleading in troubleshooting the failing DHCP. I think it would help
if either
a) the installer would give a notice when the only available interface
is "unusual" (i.e. not Ethernet or WLAN) though probably it's hard to
define what should be unusual; or
b) the interface selection with the information on the network type
behind the interface would be shown even if there is only one
interface; or
c) the hardware type would be shown during attempted DHCP.
Other small things:
I didn't get any message that GRUB could not be installed with /boot on
XFS. Since I want to use it, I had to go back and repartition to
include a small ext3 /boot partition, wasting a lot of time.
I don't know if this belongs with the installer or somewhere else, but
anacron was not automatically installed. I consider it essential for
any non-server system that is not expected to run 24/7.

Description:

Closes: 300545 303445
Changes:
ddetect (1.15) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Joey Hess
- Force register and load sunhme, sunbmac, and esp on sparc since
apparently discover does not find these on at least an E4500.
This is kind of a work around for #299074, and will be reverted once
discover is fixed.
- Detect if only one ethernet interface is found, and if it's a firewire
interface, warn the user and allow them to manually select modules to
load. This after noticing that 2.6 installs that fail to load the
ethernet driver fail unexpectedly when the firewire ethernet ends up
being used. Closes: #303445
- Add a few missing 2.6 ethernet drivers to devnames.txt.
* Colin Watson
- Register apm_emu on systems with via-pmu mac-io devices.
* Frans Pop
- Schedule acpi packages for installation if system has acpi support.
Works only for 2.6 kernels. Closes: #300545
