Has anyone noticed that the recent Squeeze i386 installation

ext3 partition.

Advice?

Same here (weekly ISO).

No network adapter detection neither ext3/ext4/reiserfs/jfs/xfs
formatting options.

BTW, netinstall (~180 MiB.) works fine.



Maybe it's your network cards ~ perhaps a specific model missing
drivers? I was able to get it to work on both Xen and VMWare Fusion.  We
don't slipstream our drivers and we were using unmodified kernels.

Dunno but...

1/ I'm installing Squeeze in VM (virtualbox) so network card is a plain
generic one (Intel gigabit).

2/ Having no ext3/ext4 option for disk formatting is not a "good" thing.

3/ Netinstall ISO has no problem at all with these two issues.


Net install is difficult for me, and getting a daily build is both futile and impossible. Futile because the i386 iso has been pants for weeks, impossible for the same reason I can't use netinst: I have terrible access to internet, including a data cap.
