Bug#2893: forwarded 1.1 installation bugs



Package: boot-floppies

to      :  debian-changes-request@lists.debian.org

from    :  fpspin@flashnet.it

name    :  Roberto Giusto (Italy)


Subject :  Several problems encountered installing
           beta version of Debian 1.1

DEBIAN 1.1 is now running on my AST Bravo MS P/75 (plug-and-play mainboard).
Thank you for assisting in the solution of the following two major problems !

FIRST -  The italian keyboard is not working even if I select either of the
         two possible options available in the list, but the U.S. keyboard
         remains the effective one still working.

SECOND - The network installation seems not working (I tryed also specifying
         'linux ether=10,FCE0h,eth0' at the boot: prompt, but unsuccessfully)

The hardware is 3com model 3C590 Etherlink III PCI adapter, slot 10,
interrupt 10, I/O Base FCE0h and, of course, the network is correctly
working under Windows-3.11.

I reports that during the boot process I read the following :

Loading modules :
Mounting local file systems ...

    /sbin/syslogd   can't find library 'lib.so.4'
    /sbin/klogd     can't find library 'lib.so.4'

I veryfied that 'lib.so.5' is present, not so does 'lib.so.4'


As during the boot I've seen the following messages,
    SIOCSIFADDR    no such device
    SIOCSIFNETMASK no such device
    SIOCSIFBRDADDR no such device
    SIOCADDRT      network is unreachable
    SIOCADDRT      network is unreachable
then, after the boot, I executed '/etc/init.d/network' with the following
results:

    (DATE) (TIME)  modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-3
    (DATE) (TIME)  modprobe: can't locate module eth0

Something appears to be lost ... and the relevant list of errors appears...
    SIOCSIFADDR    no such device
    SIOCSIFNETMASK no such device
    SIOCSIFBRDADDR no such device
    SIOCADDRT      network is unreachable
    SIOCADDRT      network is unreachable


I hope to help the Debian community for the success of the enterprise !

Best whishes,   Roberto Giusto
