Machine: Dell Precision 490 Processor: 2 Intel Xeon E5320 (EM64T arch) Memory: 3 GB Partitions: windows installed on /hda1; data on /hda2; ghost image on /hda3; debian (hopefully) on /hda4 Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [O] Detect network card: [O] Configure network: [E] Detect CD: [O] Load installer modules: [O] Detect hard drives: [ ] Partition hard drives: [ ] Install base system: [ ] Clock/timezone setup: [ ] User/password setup: [ ] Install tasks: [ ] Install boot loader: [ ] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: Hi, DHCP network configuration fails with message "No DHCP client was found. This package requires pump or dhcp-client." CTRL-ALT-F4 console reads (among other cryptic messages) : main-menu [9246]: WARNING **: Configuring 'netcfg' failed with error code 1 and main-menu [1753]: DEBUG: resolver (dhcp-client-udeb): package doesn't exist (ignored) CTRL-ALT-F1 console reads nothing looking relevant. Then I configured network as fixed-IP using IP/mask/gw/dns and name/domain retrieved from the existing system (IP is bound to my network card MAC adress). Configuration was OK but ineffective : d-i could not retrieve anything from ftp.fr.debian.org, and "wget http://www.debian.fr"; in the CTRL-ALT-F2 console yields "host name lookup failure" after a while. I have been surfing the debian-boot mailing list archive, but could not find anything related. Do you have any idea about this strange problem ? Thanks ! bertrand _____________________________________________________________________________ Ne gardez plus qu'une seule adresse mail ! Copiez vos mails vers Yahoo!
