AMD64

[Karl Schmidt <karl@xtronics.com>]

I'm working at getting a Tyan S2877 board up and going using the net-install-cd
of unofficial sarge  AMD64.

Several problems - first it would not recognize my SATA CD/DVD plextor drive 
(px-755SA) - not a big deal - so I put in an older IDE drive for now.

Next, it sees the broadcom Network chips - but they fail to work.

After setting up a raid configuration it fails to boot.

I'm wondering if I should just give up on Sarge or work these out one at a time?
