Hi Jacob,

Thanks for your hint. The netboot image as well as all amd64 boot images use kernel 2.6.8
so I'm not able to even install debian on this machine.
I have the feeling, that the netboot installer requires a kernel compiled for amd64 (i.e. not for i386)
and as the other machine I have at hand is a P4, this would mean crosscompiling, which is a thing I
would rather not do (if you understand what I mean), but maybe I am wrong in my assumptions.
As someone in post has already pointed out a 2.6.11 kernel in the installation images would do good.
