After installing the base system, the floppy drive, network card, and
sound card do not work. Although they are supported hardware, there
appear to be numerous irq conflicts (these devices sharing irq 1 with
the keyboard). I have included below some output showing the symptoms.
This seems to be a major compatibility failure. I have since gotten
debian installed on this machine by using the Libranet installer (the
Woody installer also worked) - floppy and network card now work,
although sound card driver still doesn't load.

Hi there
saw your debian install bug report. i am having exactly the same
problem on a T1742 emachines with latest sarge-rc2 and sarge-daily
builds. about to try woody. Were you able to get your sound card
working? going to try fixing the network adapter per your post.
My memory is a bit rusty now, but I believe that the sound worked after
I switched from the 2.4 to the 2.6.7 kernel. I also passed
"pci=noacpi" to the kernel at boot time, but I don't think this is what
actually solved it. In any case, I did get the sound card working
without doing anything too complicated. Sorry I didn't keep better
notes than that. If you do figure it out, a reply on-list may be
helpful to others with the same problem.
Good luck!
