Oriol:
Thanks for your help! In the console window "uname -a" gives me:
Wou're welcome. :)
"Linux (none) 2.6.29-1-486 #1 Fri Apr 17 13:40:16 UTC 2009 i686 unknown"
This is the version of hd-media kernel no? Let's try!
I'm not sure how to check the version of the kernel in the .iso. I did "dmesg | grep linux" and got nothing and "dmesg | grep kernel" and got nothing.
To check the version of the cd is the same way than hd-media. You can load only a CD (into a virtual machine or burn in a CD and load-it "phisically") and in the first debina installer question, make : "alt+f2", and "uname -a".
This tells you the CD vlinuz version. The kernel version of hd-media may be the same than netinst cdrom.
I'm trying to install squeeze and I notice that the installer has trouble locating the .iso but succeeds if I select "yes" at the first failure ( and proceed anyway, loading more files) then when it fails to find the ethernet port I select "Go Back" and go back to the part where it looks for the .iso file. Installer finds the .iso then, but is still not able to find the ethernet port.
The kernel needs modules to load drivers and detect hardware . If he can't load modules, he can't detect ethernet, filesystems, etc....
What do you think?
