After trying to get Debian deployed in a client project for over a year,
I've been successfuly in having it approved for use on a 6-server
project that we're doing.
But, I've got a problem that I'd like some direction with.
My experience with Debian has basically been that I've had no problem
getting the actual distribution up and running -- I simply install from
the Sarge ISOs on CD, and then customize what I want or upgrade to Sid
in some cases.
But in my first attempt at installing on these boxes, using my Beta 2
Installer, I got an error message that it didn't have drivers for the
E1000 gigabit nics on these servers. (I've never used a gigabit nics
before with Debian, only with FC and RH).
Here's my question:
a) does Beta 4 have the e1000 drivers?
b) If not, how do I load the e1000 drivers during the install? Or for
that matter, how do I load ANY drivers during install that aren't part
of the Sarge or Sid distributions?
Thanks for any advice!
