Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
After failing to install testing, I decided to try to install unstable,
which completed the installation and managed to boot the newly installed
Debian. Neat! But there were still post-boot issues to spot.
Apart from missing translations, and the Norwegian translation of
the timezone question not looking quite right (an empty spot where
the first "Europe/Oslo" text, that it thinks I probably want, should be),
the new installation seems to not have realized that it needs to load the
ethernet driver (3c59x, for my 3C905C card), after an otherwise perfect
network boot (DHCP, PXE, TFTP) and network installation. I needed to go
to tty2 to modprobe it manually. Perhaps this should be configured
automatically.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
