[Bug 853686] [NEW] No network interfaces detected in the Amazon EC2.

[Charles Plessy]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I am trying to boot the debian-installer in the Amazon EC2, as described
at the following URL:

http://charles.plessy.org/Debian/debi%C3%A2neries/nuage/

I prepared an AMI that contains the initrd.gz and vmlinuz files
downloaded at the following URL (September 11 build).

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/xen/

It boots PV-Grub with the aki-ec5df7ed kernel, and then starts Debian-
Installer via a /boot/grub/menu.lst file.  Unfortunately the
configuration of the network fails with the following error.

   ┌─────────────────────┤ [!] Configure the network ├─────────────────────┐
   │                                                                       │
   │                    No network interfaces detected                     │
   │ No network interfaces were found. The installation system was unable  │
   │ to find a network device.                                             │
   │                                                                       │
   │ You may need to load a specific module for your network card, if you  │
   │ have one. For this, go back to the network hardware detection step.   │
   │                                                                       │
   │     <Go Back>                                          <Continue>     │
   │                                                                       │
   └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Using the same approach with Debian Squeeze's installer, the network can
be autoconfigured successfully (via preseeding).

Have a nice day,
