* Felix Groebert | net-1440.img initrd=net-initrd.gz | -> "Cannot load a ramdisk with an old kernel image." | | vmlinuz initrd=net-initrd.gz | -> the following bug report is about this. | | did I enter the boot line correctly? somehow I feel that I missed the | net-1440.img file?
This is correct. The net-1440.img is a floppy image, to be written to floppy. | Initial boot worked: [yes ] | Configure network HW: [ E ] | Config network: [ O ] | Detect CD: [ ] | Load installer modules: [ E ] | Detect hard drives: [ ] | Partition hard drives: [] | Create file systems: [ ] | Mount partitions: [ ] | Install base system: [] | Install boot loader: [ ] | Reboot: [] | [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it | | Comments/Problems: | rtl8139 could not be found, so I modprobe'd -v 8139too and there my | NIC popped up. Known issue. Fixed once we have discover2. | "/usr/bin/debian-installer/retriever/net-retriever: error while | loading shared libraries: libdebconf.so.0.3 cannot open shared object: | No such file or directory" | | and then | "Segmentation fault | postinst exited with status 35584" | | and then I am back in the main menu. | | I would be glad if you could reply on what -I guess- _I_ did wrong. This looks like you aren't using the correct image. I have manually verified that the net-retriever in net-initrd.gz from http://people.debian.org/~tfheen/d-i/images/2002-12-07/cvs/net-initrd.gz (md5sum d14a3e41cf8e1dcaab7c5fec2b39ea1d) does _not_ link against libdebconf.so.0.3. It sounds like you have the older, broken net-1440.img. (The working one is dated 08-Dec-2002 03:14) -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`.
