Did you try the 2.4 kernel or the 2.6 kernel for i386?

If you have the time, please have a look at the amd64 debian-installer
and see if the at least the forcedeth module in the 64bit kernel works 
for you. 

You should be able to bootstrap a i386 sarge from the amd64 installer
and run it with a 64bit kernel, just use the amd64 installer to do half
the work, read up to partitioning the disk, then spawn a shell and do
the rest by hand.
