Hi Eric,

I check the above several times:
resolv.conf exist and has the same entry as the other machines I have.
kernel's routing table is fine (again, same as on the other machines)

ifconfig or ping are not available -- at least "a find pipe grep" did not lead 
to any result. so i tried wget to some host outside as well as inside the network.
name resolution works, but again wget is not able to connect to any host. It stalls.

Log-Files also look fine - no error messages.

Now, I decided to install the base system and configure the network later. Even that 
fails with deboostrap-error: could not detect release-name ....

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Markus
