Errors:
-----
1. Configure Network Interface : the nvidia nforce3 ethernet
integrated controler is not detected, only the two firewires are
(ethernet over ieee1394). So I have to get out of the installer
(different console, or exit through the menu) and type
modprobe forcedeth
Then back to the installer and works.
2. Reboot
The first disk in the BIOS is the SATA (/dev/sda1) which is where
winXP lives. I install debian on the /dev/hda1 (PATA) disk, but the
bootloader somehow gets installed in the /dev/hda1 MBR, so when it
reboots, it reboots to window (/dev/sda1) and not linux.
If I change the order of the disk drives in the BIOS to get the disk
on /dev/hda1 as first HD instead of /dev/sda1, the settings in the
grub bootloader are wrong, and it won't let me boot windows.
So I have to change those settings from :
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
makeactive
chainloader +1
to:
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional
root (hd1,0)
savedefault
map (hd0) (hd1)
map (hd1) (hd0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
That does the trick.
I also have to mention that if I change the order of disk drives in
the BIOS before installing, it doesn't work either (same situation as
installing then changing the disk order).
Cheers,
Remi.
