Hello,
this is how I currently install new sarge boxes, if it may help:
- use a daily built etch installer in expert mode. It features 2.6.15
and can install stable, too.
- just after you installed the ancient 2.6.8 kernel, switch to a shell
and chroot into /target:
* apt-get install you favorite editor
* add backports.org to sources.list
(see http://www.backports.org/instructions.html)
* install initramfs-tools and module-init-tools from bpo (and some
* dependencies, like udev busybox and klibc) along with
linux-image-2.6.15
- let the installer install your favorite boot manager
There you go, no trouble with dualcore, forcedeth networking or SIS
chipsets.
HTH
