Problems during Installation RaspBian

Mon Jan 21, 2013 11:39 pm

I've been following this tutorial: http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianInstaller

In this step:
Choose a mirror of the Debian archive
Please enter the hostname of the mirror from which Debian will be downloaded.
mirrordirector.raspbian.org

I get an error. Opening the Terminal 4 here is the output:
FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/3.2.27-cutdown+/modules.dep: No such file or directory

What might be happening?
I only have a USB Wireless Keyboard (it works fine for browsing the menus)

Regards

I've never used a "network install" method for Raspian so I'm not familiar with the details.

Is the installer managing to download anything from the mirror or is it giving the error message at the first attempt to access the mirror? If it is not getting anything at all, then it looks like your RPi does not have internet connectivity. That means that the RPi isn't properly connected to your router or your router isn't allowing traffic between the RPi and the mirror.

Is there a particular reason you have chosen this network install method instead of the usual 'download the full image to PC and write to SD card' method? As the tutorial says, the network install is rather slow.

Well I was trying to perform an img lately, but I was wondering about this error.

I'm not sure if my raspi is recieving conectivity. I've put manually the internet configuration settings. The error is thrown right away after trying to download from mirror sources

When you boot the Raspian installer do the LAN LEDs light up? (FDX, LNK, 10M)
