Bug#585901: Followup
>> Initial failure to detect ethernet controllers
This was probably due to a dead CMOS battery and conflict between the
onboard ethernet controller and installed cards. There has been no boot
problems since the battery was replaced and all PCI cards were removed.
Firmware installation:

The installer failed to indicated missing firmware. I only discovered
that the ATI Radeon video card needed firmware when OpenGL performed
purely.
