Package: debian-installer Version: snapshot-20071127 Hi, i just tried installing Debian/Etch on an Sun Netra X1 and it failed. I retried with a current snapshot from here:
http://people.debian.org/~stappers/d-i/images/20071127-12:10/netboot/boot.img
and it fails the same way. When gettint to the network configuration
both ethernets immediatly start flapping and DHCP does not succeed.

This seems to be caused by the driver unable to assign a MAC Address:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)
Interrupt:9
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

This is the very same problem as #360699 reported which was closed.
Unloading dmfe.ko and loading tulip.ko (and removing dmfe.ko to
dismiss further loading) helps ...

At least the kernel does not Oops when unloading the dmfe driver as the
Etch installer kernel did for me...
