Comments/Problems:

Can't get any PCMCIA card services or recognition. Everything else 
seems to be doing okay.

The Gateway Solo 2200 is an older laptop, with no built-in network or 
modem connections, so it's reliant on PCMCIA cards for this. Unfortunately 
the installer was unable to load the 'i82365' module, and every subsequent 
attempt to find the network card or modem resulted in a 'modprobe -v 
i82365' failure.

The problem first appears very early in the install process. I looked at 
the output on virtual terminal 3 (e.g., Alt-F3 - is "virtual terminal 3" 
the right term to describe it?) when it first happened, and at that point 
there were only eight lines of text present:

"
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/pnp/isa-pnp.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o
Using /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o
insmod: init_module: i82365: No such device
insmod    isa-pnp
insmod    pcmcia_core
insmod    i82365
modprobe: failed to load module i82365
"

The rest of the Linux install seems to go okay, though obviously there's 
no network or modem support present.

I suspect it doesn't matter, but for what it's worth the card I'm trying 
to use is a Xircom XEM5600 network and modem combo card; the PCMCIA HOWTO 
says the card uses the xirc2ps_cs driver, and the installer gamely 
attempted to load it till it got the inevitable 'modprobe -v i82365' 
error.

...Unfortunately I'm still howlingly new to Linux, and haven't yet 
learned little things like "is there a way to install the module after 
the initial system installation" and "if there is, how do I go about it".  
:)  I've tried going through HOWTOs, but so far no luck. Can you offer a 
newbie some help?

Thanks!  :)

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.
