Hi...
I'm having some problems installing using current rawhide boot.iso under
VMware. It *seems like* there could be a regression in the pcnet32
driver or something, because it looks like the NIC is found but the
network is down. However I cannot really look into the problem, because
the Alt+F2 shell, that I would normally consult first to figure out what
is going on, is blank/empty.
Is this on purpose? I tried to search through this list, but cannot find
anything.
I don't know at what stage you're trying this; but that shell is
normally only available once anaconda has taken over from the loader (eg
the loader first asks for keyboard and stuff and for the installer
media, then it goes to find anaconda image there (stage2.img) and only
when THAT is running will you get that shell)
Okay! That explains it, then.
I'm on the boot.iso, which will load stage2 from an installation source.
And since that can't happen, because my network appears *down* to the
system, i can't get to the stage2 image.
I'll try to think of other things to try to get this working.
Thanks a lot.
