Today I got at last a machine that is able to boot from USB, so I said, hey,
let's try installing from USB, but unluckily it didn't work.
Machine boots from our image and debian-installer is launched, but when it
get's to the part where it tries to gather the stuff from the iso image it
fails to find the iso image.
Looking at dmesg and the modules loaded, I can see that the usb memory stick
is not found at all.
I've been doing more tests now, the problem is that this machine has a intel
82801EB usb controller, and no driver is loaded for it, it could have been
uhci, usb-uhci or ehci-hcd, but none is loaded, thus none of the devices
atached to it work at all :-(
This is what the devices look like for lspci -n:
00:1d.0 Class 0c03: 8086:24d2 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 147b:1028
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
I/O ports at bc00 [size=32]
00:1d.1 Class 0c03: 8086:24d4 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 147b:1028
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 19
I/O ports at b000 [size=32]
00:1d.2 Class 0c03: 8086:24d7 (rev 02)
Subsystem: 147b:1028
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
I/O ports at b400 [size=32]
00:1d.3 Class 0c03: 8086:24de (rev 02)
Subsystem: 147b:1028
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
I/O ports at b800 [size=32]
00:1d.7 Class 0c03: 8086:24dd (rev 02) (prog-if 20)
Subsystem: 147b:1028
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 23
Memory at fa100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
Capabilities: [58] #0a [20a0]
Last one is the USB2 thing, the others the USB ones.
Machine has a new abit motherboard, PIV based, I can gather more info if
needed.
Hope this helps making d-i detect this kind of hardware ok. If you need more
info just tell me.
BTW, postinstalation stuff detects it and loads uhci and ehci-hcd.
Regards...
