( on your hardware ) Switch to the second virtual console ( press ALT-F2 ) `ifconfig eth0 up` `ifconfig eth0` and E-mail us the output of those commands ALT-F1 brings you back to installer
The ethernet configuration now works with the Aug 27 network install CD, although I had to manually select e1000 Intel Gigabit.
Didn't find my SATA drives. Appreciate any help. I don't have another linux system right now, only windows.Have you access to "live CD" like Gnoppix? "Open a console[2]" and use ( lspci ; lspci -n ) | sort | less to find the (SATA) disc controller[3]
While using the installation cd I did the console[2] I was told lspci couldn't be found.
Gnoppix had the following output: 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2770 (rev 02) 0000:00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 2771 (rev 02) 0000:00:1b.0 0403: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27d8 (rev 01) 0000:00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27d0 (rev 01) 0000:00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27d4 (rev 01) 0000:00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27d6 (rev 01) 0000:00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27e0 (rev 01) 0000:00:1c.5 PCI bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27e2 (rev 01) 0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27c8 (rev 01) 0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27c9 (rev 01) 0000:00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27ca (rev 01) 0000:00:1d.3 USB Controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27cb (rev 01) 0000:00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27cc (rev 01) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801 PCI Bridge (rev e1) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27b8 (rev 01) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27df (rev 01) 0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27c0 (rev 01) 0000:00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 27da (rev 01)0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 0141 (rev a2)

Gnoppix couldn't configure the network either: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found I'm curious how you use the lspci output to resolve issues like this. Thanks,Daniel
