Comments/Problems:
The system starts off nicely and autodetects everything - things seem to
go well. Then "Feel free to retry." pops up, and hitting Enter brings
me to the main menu, where "Configure the network via DHCP" is selected.
At this point I wander off to the familiar tty2 and look at the network
configuration. I notice that the 'tulip' driver is loaded, instead of
the usual 'de4x5' that I use with this card. I then installed Woody on
the same system, upgraded to Herbert Xu's 2.4.22-1-k6 kernel package,
and tried to use the 'tulip' driver; I never got a DHCP address.
Unloading 'tulip' and loading 'de4x5' had it working again.
Back to d-i... I figure it wouldn't hurt to try running 'pump' by hand,
to get an IP address, so I did:
~ # pump -i eth0
pump: error while loading shared libraries: libpopt.so.0: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
I decided to try and continue the installation without network access.
I returned to tty1 and selected 'Partition a hard drive', and did so,
then was brought back to "Feel free to retry." "Configure the network
via DHCP" was selected again.
I decided to ignore this again, and selected "Configure and Mount
Partitions" from the menu. I successfully configured and mounted one
swap and four ext3 partitions, then was returned to the menu again.
I selected "Install the base system", but of course, without network
access, this business card CD was going nowhere. At this point I
decided to download the "net install" image and try that instead. I'll
file a seperate report for that one, unless it goes exactly the same.
Thanks for working on debian-installer,
- Keegan

Thank you for testing debian-installer.
I have cloned your report to discover-data-udeb and therefore close this
report. The problems you describe are because the netcfg step (static
and dhcp) never succeeds. netcfg-dhcp is therefore the default all the
time.
