Re: Still Can't Install Sarge/Etch (no route)

I have tried to install sarge with the 3.1r5 "business card" netinst
disc, and etch with the full netinst daily build disc from Mar. 4 '07.
It detects my hardware fine, loads my modules fine, and configures
with DHCP fine, but every mirror gives "Bad Mirror or No Repository"
(I'm approximating that from memory; it's a blood-red screen), and
trying to use wget from a side console on the installer gives "no
route to host". The route command gives normal results: my own netmask
goes to me, and the default is my gateway.

Are you using the expert install ("expert" at the installer boot screen)?
AFAIR, there is then an option to supply nameservers manually. I had to
do this when I was using a particular ADSL modem/router-in-a-box to
connect to my ISP. The modem/router did not have an option to set
nameservers, so DHCP was detected OK but would not work during a normal
"install". Setting the nameservers in "expert" install solved the
problem. I did report this as a bug, but it was a couple of years ago.
