I retried many times but no use. I tried both debian installer of lenny and squeeze Alpha1 release, either of them works perfectly for PPPoE. But lenny is too old, and the latter failed for some reason, so I try daily-built, but still failed. Please try to resolve, thanks.
Please find out exactly what is wrong.
The PPPoE concentrator was not detected during installation, if you were asking me. 2010/7/2 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>:

I have no idea why it was not detected. I'm not a computer professional. All I know is that the network card is detected, my isp uses PPPoE login, and when I use the lenny installer or the squeeze installer Alpha 1 release, they both found the PPPoE concentrator. But I really don't know why. I just download the newest daily installer, July 2, 2010, and it failed to detect the PPPoE concentrator, too. I am in Taiwan, using Hinet Adsl, 10MB speed (optical fiber?). Or you need some particular information from me?? 2010/7/2 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>:

So, are you gonna tell me how to debug it? I can do something, but I need someone tells me what to do. 2010/7/2 Marco d'Itri <md@linux.it>:

I boot with the d-i again, ran tcpdump but it couldn't run. So I press ctrl+alt+F4 to see the logs there. I hand-wrote some relevant lines as following, hope them help. --- log net/hw-detect.hotplug" Detected hotpluggable network interface eth0 hw-detect: Loading PCMCIA bridge driver module: i82365 hw-detect: FATAL: Module i82365 not found. check-missing-firmware: no missing firmware in /dev/.udeb/firmware-missing.

I just downloarded squeeze d-i, made in July 5, 2010, and burned it into a cd. I boot the installer with the boot parameter modules=ppp-udeb, and follow the regular initial steps of the installation. After this the actual setup of PPPoE is started, it says "No PPPoE concentrator", "All network interfaces have been probed, but a PPPoE concentrator was not detected." I retried many times but no use. I pressed ctrl+alt+F4, the logs there seemed the same as July 2's: "no concentrator found on eth0:will bring the interface back down." Again, I tried the lenny instller, it could start the pppoe, and ask me for username. But I need squeeze, so, plz help to resolve. No one else encountered the same problem? Should I provide more information, plz tell me what to do, thanks.
