Comments/Problems:

1. Initial boot screen doesn't display properly (many sort of shadow lines). But pressing the F1 key makes display looks correctly.

2. I did base-config before reboot the computer. The cursor and the option selector didn't show correcty.
When I pressed UP key, the option selector disappears,
when I pressed DOWN key, the option selector shows correctly.

3. After complete install, I need to perform each time I boot
ifdown eth1
and
ifup eth1
In order to get my wireless lan card works fine.
cardmgr or dhclient seems to have trouble during the boot process.
Here's a snapshot of syslog :

The problem is the same with a 2.4.25 or a 2.6.3 kernel.

However, during the install stage, the network works fine (was able to download from debian server).

4. I need to install kernel-image-2.6.3-k7 in order to have cpufreq
(Not really a problem).
