Comments/Problems:
Installer started up from CD properly. Selected the default install
procedure. Installer proceeds as expected until it tries to detect the
network hardware. The installer fails to do so; the next screen informs
me of the problem, and gives me a list of drivers to manually activate
the card. The card in the machine is a Realtek 8139 - I select this
driver from the list. The installer tries the driver (I assume that's
what it's doing when it blanks the screen) ... and then returns me back
to the "choose a driver" page. I assume the chosen driver did not work.
The motherboard has a realtek 8101 card -- which the installer doesn't
have a driver for (I expected that to happen). I have tried installs
with the card active (to see if it would work anyway), and with it
disabled in bios ,to make sure that my problem is not a card conflict.
I have confirmed that the network card is functional (I've actually
tried two different rtl8139's - both have worked in other machines), and
have also confirmed that the router, cables, and other hardware are
functional.

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.
