2.6.8 was released almost 18 months ago. The chipset on your board is
no where near that old. The 2.6.8 kernel simply has no way to know how
to support that chipset. Try etch instead, or one of the sarge
installers with 2.6.15 or newer kernel.
The pci.ids file is just for lspci. It doesn't tell the drivers
anything. The kernel doesn't look at files itself.
amd64 version: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/2.6.15/sarge-custom-0209-x86_64.iso
i386 version: http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/2.6.15/sarge-custom-0206.iso
http://kmuto.jp/b.cgi/debian/d-i-2615.htm has more info on it.
You can also try the 2.6.12 based one I made a while ago, although
2.6.15 is likely better for that board. Using the kernel from
backports.org is my recomendation once you have it installed. Mine is
