Package: Bootstrap installer for Iconnect with Marvell CPU
  Version: no version available in list from
  http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/kirkwood/netboot/marvell/openrd/

  Starting   the  installer  will  run  into  a  catch22  because  the
  networkinstall will fail while the nic could not initialize .

The it works not with manual configuration also not with DHCP

I  found  out  that ist might have to do with a bug in the Kernel from
this version.

"Ethernet  Connection  for debian installation - Important!!! you MUST
use Gigabit Ethernet!!! due to a bug in the Debian Install Kernel"

found on http://diogogomes.com/2010/11/14/debian-install-iconnect/

I  tried to load the Kernel from flash with the bootstrap installer an
the the network will configure okay.

But  therefore  it  will  run  into  incompatible  modules  with  this
Kernelversion  inside  the  flash compare to the modules on the debian
server.

There  must  exist  a bugfix because the Kernel inside the flash will
work with the NIC.

A  good  freind told me if there is a bug and nobody report it the bug
will never be fixed. Sorry about my shiftless bugreport but I tried my
best. Hope get better in future.

Du you need a bootlog or something ?

Best regards Martin

It's not a bug as such.  The real problem is that the iConnect is not
supported in the kernel. (*)  This is not a Debian problem... iConnect
support needs to be implemented upstream, then we can enable it in the
Debian kernel.

(*) You're using the SheevaPlug or OpenRD support code on the iConnect
but this won't work since the network configuration is different.
