Hello, I won't get this installation to run, because the ethernet-onboard-card can't be activated. I used the linux26-mode, tried things like DEBCONF_PRIORITY=medium and I also tried to disable pcmcia, but it doesn't work. I also tried expert26 and disabling the pcmcia. No result.... :-(
I am using the MSI 915GM Speedster-FA4 with Intel pentium M 760 CPU and 2GB DDR2- RAM. On PCI-E I installed a Gigabyte GF 6600GT card. This system will gonna be a MediaPlayer-System (FreeVO) and I don't want to use some bullshit like Windows for this. I am convinced, that Linux is the better way. I searched Google and other databases, some solved the problem (but how?), some didn't. Some people did an installation with another card like 3C905 and took the driver-source from Syskonnect or Marvell to make it run. I don't want to go this way. I heard about issues with the sk98lin and non-SMP kernels, but at installation-time, I can't use a precompiled SMP kernel. Okay, to find some hints, I installed Kubuntu Dapper Drake (actually donloaded yesterday) from DVD. I took the KDE-version and the Server-Release. Both recognize the Marvell- Chipset correctly, but lsmod didn't list sk98lin or skge (which was mentioned in other tipps). So, I guess, the driver is part of the kernel. Do you have an idea, how I can fix this problem? (I want to use Debian - no Windows, no Kubuntu!) At the moment, I'm very frustrated about the situation, there are many differnt hints, but there is no solution....
