The ppp kernel modules seem to be buggy. The dhcp eth0 is configured correctly, then the dialogue for pppoe fails at the last step, when he should trigger the connection. Of course that rp-pppoe works fine after a basic install!!!
People, you should realise that many users have pppoe connections. This bug should be solved very fast. It would be very useful for those who want to install sid directly and not get through the "etch to sid upgrade" thingy.
If someone else had problems with pppoe during netinstall, please do post here. I'm tryng to figure out how big this problem is.
