Bug#239761: debian-installer: network driver not loaded after reboot
Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
After failing to install testing, I decided to try to install unstable,
which completed the installation and managed to boot the newly installed
Debian. Neat! But there were still post-boot issues to spot.
Apart from missing translations, and the Norwegian translation of
the timezone question not looking quite right (an empty spot where
the first "Europe/Oslo" text, that it thinks I probably want, should be),
the new installation seems to not have realized that it needs to load the
ethernet driver (3c59x, for my 3C905C card), after an otherwise perfect
network boot (DHCP, PXE, TFTP) and network installation. I needed to go
to tty2 to modprobe it manually. Perhaps this should be configured
automatically.
