Comments/Problems:
Have no display, keyboard, or mouse attached to this system. Am connected
via ttyS0 over null-modem cable. Both tulips have known good cat5e
cable connections to a 100baseTx-FD switch/router serving DHCP leases.
Issued "BOot ALTernate" under BCH, issued 'y' to interact with the IPL, and
accepted the following defaults:
0/vmlinux root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk ramdisk_size=16384 init=/linuxrc
console=ttyS0 TERM=vt102
This gave the following warnings and errors:
Warning: kernel name doesn't end with 32 or 64 -- Guessing... Choosing 32-bit
kernelELF32 executable
[SNIP]
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
RAMDISK: incomplete write (-28 != 32768) 16777216
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 316k freed
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
attempt to access beyond end of device
ram0: rw=0, want=40650, limit=32768
[SNIP]
Based on these messages, tried the following kernel command line:
0/vmlinux32 root=/dev/ram initrd=0/ramdisk ramdisk_size=32768 init=/linuxrc
console=ttyS0 TERM=vt102
This got past the initial boot stage, and allowed the install to continue.
During the install, the onboard and addin tulips detect fine, but neither one
will get a DHCP lease during the "Configuring the network with DHCP" phase.
Chose "Configure network manually" and entered values appropriate for
the network.
Still no connectivity on either net interface.
Aborted the intial install at the "Configure apt" stage and edited /etc/network/
interfaces as follows:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
At this point, "ifup eth0" gives a valid DHCP lease on the addin NIC, while a
timeout is received for eth1 (onboard). "exit" at the prompt allows
the install to continue. After a reboot following the initial install, the
add-in tulip becomes eth1 instead of eth0.
Have tried known good straight-through and crossover cables, forced "COnfigure
LanConfig 100/Full_dx" in BCH, and issued "mii-tool -R -F 100baseTx-FD" at the
prompt. None of these allow the builtin tulip to detect physical media at any
time.
Is this the discover1 bug, or something else entirely? More info. available at:

Thanks in Advance,

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.
