How can we install Ubuntu server without the Problems?

How can we install Ubuntu server without the Problems?

* Problems of installation (for ubuntu-14.10-server-amd64, Broadcom 57780;tg3)

1. Why do the following problems occur during installation? How would those problems be resolved?

(1) Why is not the Ethernet controller (Broadcom 57780) detected in the configuring of "Detect network hardware", and is not the device driver (tg3.ko) used?

  When the installer's device driver (tg3.ko) is binary-compared with the installed device driver (tg3.ko), they are exactly the same.
  When the system has been booted after installation, the network (eth0) can be enabled, and the device driver (tg3.ko) is used.
  See "How to install Ubuntu server from iso file on HDD" and "System conditions" shown below.

(2) Why does the installer fail to download a file from the archive mirror (jp.archive.ubuntu.com) in the configuring of "Download installer components"?

  If the network (eth0) can be enabled during installation, would that succeed?
  When the system has been booted after installation, the network (eth0) can be enabled, and ping to the archive mirror (jp.archive.ubuntu.com) succeeds.
  See "System conditions" shown below.

(3) Why is the system powered off forcibly in the configuring of "Install or Enlist with Ubuntu MAAS Server"?

(4) Why is not a user name asked during creation of "a normal user account" in the configuring of "Set up users and passwords"?

(5) Why does the installer fail to download a file from the archive mirror (jp.archive.ubuntu.com) in the configuring of "Detect disks"?

  This is similar to 1. (2).

(6) Why does the installation step fail in the configuring of "Build LTSP chroot"?

  If the network (eth0) can be enabled during installation, would that succeed?

2. (How) is it possible to "make" (compile, build) the device driver (tg3.ko), and to let the installer load the driver?

(1) Why does it fail to "make" (compile, build) the device driver (tg3.ko)? How would this problem be resolved?

  Are some packages missing? If so, which additional packages have to be installed?
  See "make conditions" and "make.log" shown below.

(2) (How) is it possible to let the installer load the device driver (tg3.ko) in the configuring of "Load drivers from removable media" or "Detect virtual driver disks from hardware manufacturer"?

  (How) does the device driver (tg3.ko) have to be packaged?
  Even though the device driver (tg3.ko) was copied to the root directory of a partition on an external USB HDD, it was not loaded.

Note: See the following detailed informations.
