I just checked the install CDs and they listed 2.6.15-1 as the install kernel, which is the relevant bit.

Probably I am checking the wrong locations, namely at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/. The amd64 etch beta 1 release and amd64 daily built on that page still use the 2.6.12-10_amd64 kernel.

I have checked the Dutch and German (and I think the French) website of Fujitsu Siemens, but apart of giving information about processor type, memory and disk size, number of USB and Firewire plugs, and graphics card, they do not give any information on the used chipset (or motherboard details). Did you find the chipset information online or in the printed documentation accompanying the computer?


Online, the datasheet linked from here:
http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/sme/products/deskbound/personal_computers/esprimo_p_series.html

Apparenly they don't seem to care as much about this for "home use" pcs. They don't seem to list noise figures either. Is the Scaleo P much cheaper than an Esprimo P to motivate such lack of documentation?

Indeed strange. Maybe the range of different models in the Scaleo P range is too large to put all the different configuration in a table. At my work, the Esprimo P5600 is (internally) booked for about Euro 850, while the list price of the Scaleo Pa A64 35+ is about Euro 815 (what I have found on the Internet). The specs are not that different, the Scaleo Pa has a bigger disk and a ATI X700 SE graphics card.
