Okay, I'm using Debian 4.0 and I get an installation failure when it's setting up the packages and whatnot. I looked in the syslog, and found this (it's the last line before DHCP renewals start):
Code:

It's the warnings that I'm worried about. After that, it's just DHCP requests until today when I was able to get back to the computer and 'finish' installation (school computer, can't stay all day).
What can I do to fic this? By the way, this is a Dell Optiplex GX150 with the install options acpi=force
I can supply entire log if need be.
