The firewire ethernet will always be available as eth0 on systems running 2.6 that have a firewire controller. d-i should not have defaulted to a probably non-fuctional firewire interface if there was another ethernet interface that had link. If it did default to eth0 in the question about which one to use, this might be a bug in the link detection code. > The AMD64 install had another major obstacle, the installer did not find the > release file. It was looking in (typing from memory) debian/dists//Release, Most times I've seen this reported it's been due to a problem reading the CD, which makes it not notice a symlink and not figure out what the suite is. We've mostly seen this one much older machines though, with DMA problems. -- see shy jo
