Package: ethdetect Version: 1.43 Severity: important Tags: d-i Hi, I want to install etch from daily built netinstall CD, platform x86_64. My network card is D-Link DE530 (Tulip family), my computer contains AMD Athlon64 X2. Installer make right decission to select module de2104x. I have to use BNC connector to local network. Module is loaded with folowing messages:
kernel: eth3: set link 10baseT auto kernel: eth3: mode 0x7ffc0040, sia 0x12c4, 0xffffef01, 0xffffffff, 0xffff0008 kernel: eth3: set mode 0x7ffc0040, set sia 0xef01, 0xffff, 0x8 netcfg: WARNING: couldn't determine MII ioctl to use for eth3 netcfg: INFO: eth3 is not a wireless interface. Continuing. kernel: eth3: disabling interface ... and after filling of network parameters screen it continues: kernel: eth3: enabling interface kernel: eth3: h/w init failure, err -16 Network is unreachable so I cannot continue in installation. This computer contains an installation of sarge. I use this card in sarge. I have to use experimental module de2104x, because computer hangs with module de4x5. It seems that this module doesn't like more CPUs. When I replace this card during etch installation and then return it back, I _can_ use this card in etch too. See messages during boot etch from disk: eth0: set link 10baseT auto eth0: mode 0x7ffc0040, sia 0x12c4, 0xffffef01, 0xffffffff, 0xffff0008 eth0: set mode 0x7ffc0040, set sia 0xef01, 0xffff, 0x8 ... <time delay> eth0: set link BNC eth0: mode 0x7ffc0000, sia 0x10c4, 0xffffef09, 0xfffff7fd, 0xffff0006 eth0: set mode 0x7ffc0000, set sia 0xef09, 0xf7fd, 0x6 eth0: link up, media BNC It seems, that d-i environment does not allow BNC detection. No module parameter exist to explain module that BNC is used. kernel: 2.6.18-3-amd64 libc6: 2.3.6.ds1-8 Regards, P.
