Comments/Problems:

I cannot get a DHCP address with netinst for amd64.  I've tried the
onboard card (via-rhine) and a separate PCI card (e100), and neither
will get a dhcp address.  I've tried ISC DHCP and the DHCP server on
my DSL router.  On my ISC DHCP, it sees DHCPDISCOVER messages from
the system, and it makes a DHCPOFFER, but no corresponding DHCPREQUEST.

If I put in a kubuntu 6.06.1 live CD, networking works great.  The
system gets a DHCP address, and I'm able to use the live CD. With the Kubuntu CD, the system accepts the offer and sends back a 
DHCPREQUEST.

I thought it may have been an issue with the older kernel in the
stable netinst not supporting the via-rhine, but I also have the same problem with the etch beta netinst image as well. And, I have the 
same problem using an e100 card.

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.
