Looks like discover does have an option for architecture specific overrides, but there are currently none for amd64. Not sure though as I'm not really familiar with discover internals. If this override is set, it will mean that amd64 porters will need to keep and eye out and request for it to be removed should the driver get fixed in the kernel. > This does seem like an installer problem. However, I'm not sure if it's worth doing this as the i2o_block does not seem to function properly given the problems with partitioning mentioned a bit later in David's mail (which is what I was really refering to with my comment). So IMO there still is a kernel problem that prevents installation... Cheers, FJP P.S. In order to be able to properly track this issue an installation report [1] should be filed with all the relevant info from the mails so far. David: could you do that please? Please also try to get the lspci info. [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.i386/ch05s03.html#submit-bug
