<snip> I forwarded your post to debian-powerpc also, hoping someone with MVME experience might help. It sounds a lot like the cases in i386 where a given hardware module isn't compiled into the kernel. Since you're network-connected, assuming you get the installer booting, you could try going right to Configure the Network, and then installing the kernel and modules via the network, then see if the module you need is in the list when you Configure the modules. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/installmanual> | | debian-imac (potato): <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
