[Bug 650918] [NEW] Cannot complete Lucid install on Ebox 3300

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Server 10.04.1 can not install completely on a DMP Ebox 3300 PC. The
processor is a VortexDx86.

The installer complains about 2 things:
1. It can't find a usable kernel
2. It can't find the proper network card driver (R6040)

To complete the installation I had to accept 'No network card' and
'Don't install kernel' options.

Afterwards I booted again with install disk in rescue mode and installed
the default kernel (linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic). This made the
installation bootable.

To activate the network card I had to compile a kernel from source to
obtain the R6040 driver and install it manually.

1) Ubuntu Server 10.04.1 LTS
2) linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic, linux-source-2.6.32-24_2.6.32-24.43
3) I expected to do a complete install in one pass like any normal installation
4) I had to take a number of extra steps just to get a working installation
