Base installation

Using Debian Installer Etch beta 3 release

Error message: 

No common CD-ROM drive was detected.

SATA driver can block access to CD drive in installations from CD. On systems having a SATA IDE controller that also has the CD drive connected to it, you may see the installer hanging during hardware detection for the CD drive or failing to read the CD just afterwards. A possible reason is that the SATA driver (ata_piix and maybe others) is blocking access to the CD drive. You can try to work around this by booting the installer in expert mode and, in the "Detect and mount CD-ROM" step, selecting only the drivers needed for CD support. These are (ide-)generic, ide-cd and isofs. The drivers needed to access the disk will still be loaded, but at a later stage. By loading the CD drivers before the SATA driver in this way, you may be able to complete the installation. Note that CD-ROM access may still be an issue after rebooting into the installed system.

Booting debian netinst from USB drive

The workaround I used is to boot from a USB stick (don't worry you will get your CDROM working later). Setting up a USB drive installer 

wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/\
main/installer-i386/current/images/hd-media/boot.img.gz
gzip -dc boot.img.gz >/dev/sdX

Enable USB drive boot from BIOS setup, and then Install Debian base system as usual.

Installing from CD

(Check) You can append libata.atapi_enabled=1 to the install or expert command lines at the boot prompt to get your cdrom detected and then be able to install from it. However, as Ryan Langseth pointed out to me, this only works for the daily builds of the installer;

Configuration

Repositories

Installing Core Duo kernel

apt-get install linux-image-2.6.16-2-686-smp

1. Downloads

driver from http://ipw3945.sourceforge.net/ for example 

wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ipw3945/ipw3945-1.1.0.tgz

ieee80211 subsystem from http://ieee80211.sourceforge.net/ for example 

wget http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/ieee80211/ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz

firmware from http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ for example 

wget http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ucode/ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz

regulatory daemon from http://bughost.org/ipw3945/ for example 

wget http://bughost.org/ipw3945/daemon/ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz

2. Install some requisites for modules compilation 

apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.16-2-686-smp
apt-get install gcc-4.0

3. Complile and install modules 

tar -zxvf ieee80211-1.2.15.tgz
cd ieee80211-1.2.15
make
make install
cd ..
tar -zxvf ipw3945-1.1.0.tgz
cd ipw3945-1.1.0
make
cd ..
tar zxvf ipw3945-ucode-1.13.tgz
mkdir /usr/local/lib/firmware/
cp ipw3945-ucode-1.13/ipw3945.ucode /usr/local/lib/firmware/
tar zxvf ipw3945d-1.7.22.tgz
cp ipw3945d-1.7.22/x86/ipw3945d /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r)
cd ipw3945-1.1.0
cp ipw3945.ko /lib/modules/$(uname -r)
depmod -a

4. /etc/init.d/ipw3945 

#!/bin/bash

case $1 in
start)
 echo -n "Load ipw3945:"
   modprobe -i ipw3945
   /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r) --timeout=30
   sleep 2
   echo " done."
;;

stop)
   echo -n "Unloading ipw3945:"
   /sbin/ipw3945d-$(uname -r) --kill
   modprobe -ir ipw3945
   sleep 2
   echo " done."
;;
esac

exit 0

5. Enable start on boot 

update-rc.d ipw3945 defaults

6. /etc/network/interfaces 

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet dhcp

Debian identified it as a regular mouse. However installing the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package and using the "synaptics" driver in X.org works fine.

Modem

Ricoh Card Reader

DVD region unlock

WebCam
