Package: debian-installer
Version: 20090718-19:05

$ cat version.info
Debian version:  6.0 (squeeze)
Installer build: 20090718-19:05

I tried netboot installer from http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/images/daily/netboot/netboot.tar.gz on old PC with PXE loader on NIC.

Automatic network configuration had failed. Thanks to log console, I explore that it seems it was some global failure with system - just no normal error detection and handling was made where they should be done.

Here piece of text I written down from log console (it goes after 'menu: Entering NIC detecting'):

...
hw-detect: Loading PCMCIA bridge driver module: i82365
kernel: Intel ISA PCIC probe: not found.
hw-detect: FATAL: Error inserting i82365 (/lib/modules/2.6.29-2-486/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.ko): No such device

kernel: e100: eth0: e100_request_firmware: Failed to load firmware "e100/d101m_ucode.bin": -2

...


Then installer tries to continue (probes DHCP etc) and a number of warnings "Link is down" is written to log while installer tries to use that "link" and reports to user that possibly user's network or DHCP is misconfigured...


Well, I would be glad to save log for you (instead of writting it down from screen and typing it back here to email), but I couldn't: I can't use web (as network is broken), can't mount disk (I see no /dev/hd* at all, though /dev/fd{,0} there exist), and may be tomorrow if I found a floppy I try to use it to save log...


Hardware:
iPentium MMX 233MHz on i430TX-based mainboard, 64M DIMM, IDE HDD, Intel PRO/100+ ethernet PCI. MS Windows98SE works OK.

   * check-missing-firmware: When called from ethdetect, take interfaces
     up and down each time through the loop. Previously this was only done
     once, which caused a bug, as the first pass through does not prompt
     for missing firmware, and on subsequent passes, the firmware was not
     requested. Closes: #537502
