Package: debian-installer Hello,
I'm the new owner of my second Olimex A20-Olinuxino Micro (Rev J) board. I tested the board with a pre-installed Micro-SD card (A20-OLinuXino-MICRO Debian Jessie with kernel 3.4.103+ release 14) and it runs fine. My challenge is to install Debian on this board and, better if possible, to run it from the attached hard disk (without Micro SD card). I choosed to run the installer from a micro-sd card image, made with zcat (with Jessie and Stretch releases, same result). The installer boots fine even if I saw that it is not as complete as a X86/X64 Debian installer. Not a problem. I use a serial port to manage the installation. As it is a network installation, first I plugged the system on my domestic network then directly on my ISP Box. After investigation with my son (who is also qualified on the subject), I think that the problem is about the network interface of the board. Maybe a faulty initialisation or bad handshake with the network port. both NI led blink and the switch port too. Here are the facts : the installer can neither configure itself from DHCP neither communicate with Internet when the network configuration is manualy entered. I did explore the logs from my DHCP server and I didn't find any log about the DHCP request from the installer (I saw some when testing with the pre-installed card). Did you meet this issue before ? Thank you in advance Best regards Jean-Louis
