Bug#243448: 243448: probable culprit found
since i was able to work-around the problem with the
netinst daily build used, i went back to beta3 d-i and
installed from scratch on the same system, following
the walkthrough i logged earlier, except i skipped
over the automatic updating of base-system that occurs
after base-config reboot.
i used aptitude to upgrade a single package at a time
in the base-system, in this order, and it didnt take
long to find the source of the problem (what causes
the 8139too module not to load automatically). i
tested the network using 'ping www.google.com',
rebooted and tested network again after each package
was upgraded..
sysvinit .. ok
sysv-rc .. ok
initscripts .. ok
discover-data .. network lost
it's version 2.2004.02.24-5 and replaced
1.2004.02-08-1
i double-checked by repeating the installation process
from the beginning with beta3, including skipping
base-system updates, and then upgraded only
discover-data. same results. network lost on reboot.
