Comments/Problems:
When detecting network hardware the error appears:
Error while running 'modprobe -v e100'
I have tried this with the net-drivers.img in the same place above
from where I got boot.img and root.img, without success. The installer
detects the card but fails to set it up.
Of course, installer in 'stable' release doesn't work, either.
Through my experiments I know what the problem is.
** Solution **
The NIC requires more recent driver code than is available in the
installer. I have compiled a 2.6.15 kernel on this machine and that
recognizes the NIC without a problem. The 2.6.15 contains a driver
with a timestamp of 2005 whereas the driver in the non-working kernels
generally have shown a 2004 timestamp. So, incorporation of new driver
code is required.

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.
