I can't reproduce this, just booted and manually modprobed it and it loaded without problem. I don't have a card to try it with, but all the symbols are resolved. Also tried it with "net" boot type, same result. The symbols you list as missing are in the 8390 module AFAIK. It sounds as if you got a broken modules.dep somehow and modprobe did not load 8390; but it works here. > - ncr53c8xx (scsi) is missing and sym53c8xx is not loaded through > the hw detection phase. loading sym53c8xx, sr_mod and sd_mod > manually results in the SCSI disks being avaliable, though. > this worked on the image before ncr53c8xx is available in the installer initrd after the installer loaded is components from CD. sym53c8xx is part of the debian-installer CD boot initrd, so it should be available the instant the installer boots (and is, in my testing). > - booting "net" still results in the di-utils-devicefiles > problem, see my last message I have just verified that di-utils-devicefiles is not in the Packages file anymore. It may have been still when you did your testing, and may still be on mirrors that are *very* slow to update. Anyway, I cannot recommend using the "net" boot method, as it is laregly untested. I also don't know what it's good for at all, frankly. I have been pondering remmoving it from the netinst CD entirely. > - ext3 has vanished from the selection in conf.+mount filesystems Cannot reproduce. ext2, ext3, and reiserfs are all listed, and I have done installs with all of them used for the root filesystem today, using this image. I have successfully installed using this image on two computers a total of 12 times today.. Something went badly wrong, but I cannot find the problems in the image you say you used. Perhaps the CD you burnt is bad, or you accidentially swapped in one from Dec 30th, 2002? ;-) -- see shy jo
