Hi,
I am try to build a custom d-i for debian-eeepc that has the atheros
wireless and ethernet modules included. Process used is from the
following wiki pages.
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/CustomInstaller
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Modify/CustomKernel
The build appears to have gone well, and I can boot and start the
installer. When the installer gets to configuring the network, netcfg
oopses the kernel with a null pointer dereference. If I switch to vt2
before doing any tasks then I can bring up ath0, set an essid and wep
key and get a dhcp lease. I tried bringing up both cards before getting
to the configuring network stage but it still oopses with netcfg.
However, if the ethernet cable is plugged in during configuration, then
I can chose either ethernet or the wireless card and from there on all
seems to work fine. The oops is below but may have some errors as its
hand typed.
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
