I also saw this when installing Ubuntu Server 7.04 / i386 on an Asus P5B-V motherboard.
Here is the detailed sequence of steps I went through: - When the installer first attempted network autoconfiguration, i had not yet plugged in the network cable, so the autoconfiguration naturally failed. - I connected the machine to a GigE switch. - I retried network autoconfiguration; it still failed. - I looked at the link light on the switch and found that it had not turned on. - I completed the installation with no network. - After completing the installation, I ran "dhclient3 eth0" and successfully obtained a lease. - I looked at the link light on the switch again and now it had turned on. -- feisty: Marvell 88e8001 ethernet controller not recognized during installation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
