Base System Installation Checklist:
Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [E] Config network: [E] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [O] Partition hard drives: [O] Create file systems: [O] Mount partitions: [O] Install base system: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Reboot: [O] [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it
Comments/Problems:
Multiple attempts -- at least 5. Tried linux, expert, linux26, expert26. Never offered the opportunity to configure network. Tried with 2 different NICs - a common Macronix, and an Intel e100. Installer seemed to see NIC -- module was loaded in alt console, but never started network configuration. Selecting network module in expert mode resulted in message to the effect "requested module not available". Workaround: after first boot, load module & configure network manually in alt console, return to package selection to select mirror.
Additional point:
Promise add-on ATA-100 card has taken interrupt 10, forcing network interface alternatively to 5 or to share interrupt 11 with USB.
