Hi,

I tried today to install DSL on a HD from within VMware. That worked fine, but the odd thing is that I can not get my network to start.

If I run DSL from the ISO the pcnet32 driver is loaded nicely, but after the HDinstall that module is not loaded, nor can I load it (tried "modprobe pcnet32" and expected it to load all dependencies as well)

So, anyone got DSL working after a HDinstall in VMware? I am quite curious as to how you got that done, you see... :)

Cheers,

What kind of installation did you do?  I suppose you probably did a debian-style hd-install?

Is there any output in ifconfig?

I used a frugal installation under vmware and the network seems to work.

Yeah, I did the scripted hd-install thing as per the FAQ.

There is nothing in ifconfig since there is no driver loaded. Perhaps would frugal be the way to go. My bet is that the module loader in the hard disk ramdisk setup differs from the one on the ISO. There is quite a lot going on during boot behind the scenes.

I'll try the frugal. One thing though: can I extend this? I want to run a very small cvs server so I have to add the cvs extension to the installation -- hence my interest in getting this to run from the hard disk directly.

Cheers,

Yes, you can.  Afaik, frugal is still the recommended way for installation.
