Package: debian-installer Severity: important While trying to install debian on an AMD64 box, Debian installer wasn't able to identify the network card. The board is an MSI K8N Neo4 with a nForce4 chipset and a Marvell 88E1111 ethernet (forcedeth driver). I used sarge-amd64-netinst.iso dated 29-Apr-2005 18:26 found http://mirror.ohiolinux.net/pub/mirrors/alioth-amd64/install-images/ The network wasn't picked up. I don't know exactly why. There were some warning in syslog due to some Packages not found by cdrom-resolver but I am not sure if the issue was due to that. I recall that 2-3 modules couldn't be loaded (ide-cd, ...) Kernel was 2.6.8 generic amd64 (if I recall) I found out that many drivers were missing in /lib/modules even though /proc/config.gz listed expected information. I solved the problem by udpkg'ing the nic-modules package from /cdrom/pool/l/...debian-installer... and 'depmod -a' then 'modprobe forcedeth'. I am reporting this issue from another desktop, so the System Information below is not meaningful. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.11-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1)

I'm closing this bug because I have not heard of any problems with the installer detecting forcedeth cards lately. -- see shy joAttachment: signature.asc
