Hi Adrian,

Did you check whether the necessary kernel modules are present on the
booted installer system? They should be in /lib/modules/$(VERSION)/*.
On Debian Sarge it lists: 8390.o, a2065.o, apne.o, ariadne.o, dummy.o, hydra.o and zorro8390.o
The apne.o is the Amiga PCMCIA NE2000-compatible driver [1]. But it won't detect the DE-660+ for some reason (it ends on a kernel dump) if I force loading it.
Then it needs to be enabled as a debian-installer module in the directory
debian/installer/* in the kernel packaging source [1].
The module that contains apne driver is not on hd-media initrd, but it is in a udeb package -don't know which one- read after iso-scan got the ISO from any partition with a supported filesystem. So I can test it on Sarge hd-media, but not on recent snapshots.
Also, I have seen there have been very recent kernel patches from Michael Schmitz to the Amiga PCMCIA driver [2], it looks like for probing 16-bit cards; so I think it will be better to make tests on a recent kernel snapshot rather than the old Sarge distribution. I will wait for the fixed hd-media.
