It looks like the hardware-summary was made on the (already installed) Etch system. Is that correct? From the loaded modules in that summary, I see that you use PPPoE, but I see no sign of PPPoE support in the installation log. If you need PPPoE support, please try booting with the following boot parameter: modules=ppp-udeb See also the appendix on PPPoE in the installation guide: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/apds05.html.en Note that the instructions there are slightly outdated. For information how to add a boot parameter, see: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-screen > The problem might be that the debian-installer gets confused by the > fact that there are 2 network interfaces on this machine: a classical > Ethernet card and a FireWire card (that I don't use). That's not it.
