Machine: Compaq LTE5150 Laptop
Processor:Intel Pentium
Memory:40MB
Partitions: hda1 710MB
swap 96MB (set up by d-i automatically)
Output of lspci -nn and lspci -vnn:

Comments/Problems: Network was set up automatically by DHCP
during installation by d-i, but I cannot get the PCMCIA NIC (a NE2000
clone) to work now that the machine boots from HD. I have tried boot
options pci=noapic, acpi =off and pci=nobios but without success :-(
I watched parts of the installation on VT4 and saw that e.g. telnet
was not installed due to a full swap partition ("out of memory")
I cannot load the modules pcmcia or pcmcia_core, I can only find the
files pcmcia.ko and pcmcia_core.ko in /lib/modules/$`uname -
r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/
As I cannot supply any packets without working LAN connection (no CD-
ROM drive, no USB) I seem to be at a dead end.
A rerun of the d-i failed to resize the partitions (as documented)
but I watched the instllation on vt4 and saw:
not starting inetd
cannot read target /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source
deleting /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-486/source
lots of
obsolete command TITLE Config called
this was with the packets
pkgsel
popularity-contest
x11-common
ucf
fontconfig-config
uswsusp
apmd
a warning
./MAKEDEV do not know how to make device "snapshot"
and after reboot
detecting PCMCIA bridge type failed, defaulting to i82365
I take it, that is the reason for my not being able to bring up the
PCMCIA-NIC after reboot any more.
can I configure it by hand?
and why does it work nicely with the d-i but not afterwards?
trying sarge again this evening :-(
sarge ran nicely on this machine with the backported kernel 2.6.16
(needed for mppe128)

PS: I am only sending this because the homepage asked for
installation reports. This is *not* a complaint.

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.
