I'm trying to install Debian Sarge with the floppies from 1st August 2004 on a Pentium 2GHz (boot, root, net-drivers). The problem is that I can't get to the internet. The computer is in a local network and has a static IP-adress, gateway and DNS-server. It works under Windows XP.
Here are some lines from /var/log/syslog: netcfg[2846]: INFO: Executing: mii-diag -s eth0 netcfg[2846]: sh: mii-diag not found netcfg[2846]: INFO: link status for eth0 is: unknown (127) hw-detect: Detected module ´3c59x´ for ´3Com Corporation 3c900B Combo Etherlink XL [Cyclone]´ kernel: PCI: Enabling device 00:0c.0 (0014 -> 0017) kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 5 for device 00:0c.0 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:06.0 kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 5 with 00:09.0 kernel: 3c59x: Donal Becker and others ... kernel: 00:0c.0: 3Com PCI 3c900B Cyclone 10Mbps Combo at 0x9000 . Vers LK1.1.18-ac kernel: 00:0c.0: scatter/gather enabled. h/w checksums enabled So where is the problem and what does it cause? -- with regards, Max Moritz Sievers
