clone 497318 -1 reassign -1 hw-detect retitle -1 check-missing-firmware: asks the same files again after refusing the first time thanks On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 04:47:24PM -0400, Filipus Klutiero wrote: > Then there is an issue with the non-free firmware loading feature. d-i > asks whether I want to load iwlwifi 3945 firmware at the right time, > but then (maybe only when I deny loading it) re-asks for that firmware > pretending that the HDD requires it.

If you answer "No" the first time, then the firmware will still be requested later on, so the second time check-missing-firmware is run, it will be asked again. Looks avoidable by recording the firmware files that were previously denied. > Finally, the worst issue is detection of network interfaces.

Right at the begining of the installer, could you switch to a console (Alt+F2) and use nano to add "set -x" to /bin/hw-detect and /bin/ethdetect. Please send back the resulting logs (gzipped).
