Comments/Problems:
- for some reason, the network hardware was not automatically
detected, and the correct modules were not loaded. I would have
expected it to load the forcedeth (for the onboard nvidia nic) and/or
tlan (for the compaq PCI nic) modules, but it only loaded the eth1394
modules (which makes no sense, as no firewire devices at all were
attached).
The installer then tried to do dhcp over the firewire device, which
obviously failed. After manually removing the eth1394 module and
modprobing the correct one (forcedeth), a retry of the dhcp process
worked fine.
- As I was upgrading my machine, rather than installing from scratch, I
wanted to preserve some partitions, specifically /scratch and
/scratch/Film. However, it turned out that /scratch already
contained a symlink named "Film", so mounting of /scratch/Film
failed. At that point, the installer presented me with an error page
which was pretty unhelpful (just said something about "couldn't mount
partitions", without being specific about which one) and had no
"retry" or "go back" buttons. Even worse, it seems the mounting
process was interrupted after trying to mount /scratch/Film, so /usr,
/usr/local and /var were not mounted. The installer, however, still
tried to continue after showing the error screen, so I had to reboot
and start from scratch.
- After rebooting, the forcedeth and sata-nv modules were not loaded.
