I have been attempting to move from redhat to debian, but I am running into problems. First, since I have a A7V133 motherboard with a promise ata100 controller, my hard drive isn't detected. That's solved by passing the kernal parameter "ide2=0x9400, 0x9002, ide3=0x8800, 0x8402". Now something goes wrong with the network configuration during installation. So I choose the 3c59x drivers for my 3c905C-TX, it apparently is the right driver. Then when I go to configure I select the option to use DHCP or that other thing which I can't remember. I get an error back saying something, and it doesn't work, and oddly there is this black background flush against the left with the text
ot alloc eth0: Ca I'm clueless. What should I do. If I try to manually configure the settings, I get a message that it's not activated but that's ok if I'm not installing anything from the network. Of course when I try to reboot I get a message saying the base system is not configured correctly.
