I have found the problem :-) This was my fault : bad configurations at the SCSI controller (wrong boot ID and no auto-spinning for the new boot device). I had neatly optimized my SCSI setting and forgot to fully adapt it for the new Debian Installer tests on the new disk. Sorry for the unjustified alert :-\ So the actual result of a new install after updated SCSI configuration is now : Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot worked: [O] Configure network HW: [O] 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] As for the network, I have simply installed pppoeconfig after the system rebooted and then I had a working connection to the Internet, just like with Sarge. I'll do some more tests regarding the Ethernet Speedtouch modem (using Mandriva + configuring the modem through HTTP) and I will then suggest an information text that I hope the DI team will find appropriate/legitimate enough to include somewhere to help the Ethernet Speedtouch users. Just to be sure : there isn't anymore second stage install (if I'm not mistaken about the "second stage install" term) now ? When the system reboots its now supposed to be operational ? I'm asking because if I remember well this was different with Sarge and I want to be sure that there isn't any step missing in what happened on my machine.
