Debian Netinst: DHCP hangs, static hangs
Hi!
I want to install Debian using the Debian Installer RC-2 as Netinst. My
system: Athlon XP 2200+, MSI MS-6712 Mainboard (VIA VT6103 Lan Adapter),
Geforce 256 Gfx, 256 MB RAM.
First, I encountered, that the VIA-Rhine-driver does not work for the VIA
VT6103. So I installed a Realtek-based card. This card is being detected
correctly.
But when the installer tries to get an IP-adresse via DHCP, it does not just
take some time, but the computer hangs (I waited min. 5 minutes, soft-reset
does not work).
DHCP should work, I have a WLAN-Router that serves as DHCP server and gives
all other computers (all Windows) in the network addresses.
Then I tried using a static address using netcfg/disable_dhcp, but after I
enter the information, the screen turns blank (means the normal grey and
blue of the installer), then hangs.
Does anyone here have any suggestions? A quick google search did not help :(
Tnx
Karl
