Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal


Well, i did an install on my pegasos, and there is something apparently wrong
with the netboot images, or the kernel .udebs.

The exact same kernel seems to work in a normal setup, and here, the ethernet
drivers are detected and loaded all right, but dhcp fails, and even having
static configuration doesn't help, nor manual playing with ifconfig (mmm,
didn't we have a ping command in d-i ?).

Since i did a network install, there was nothing much more i could do past
this.

Oh, and whoever is following powerpc d-i bug report, please make sure
mkvmlinuz 22 is installed asap on the daily builds, and it would be best to
also bump the build dep to be mkvmlinuz >= 22 [powerpc].

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.
