Comments/Problems:
The boot cd was unable to get to an installation menu because it could not
access the CDROM via the JMicron PATA interface.
Even were that successful, the current debian 2.6.18-amd64 kernel does not
work corretcly with the version of the realtek r8168 supported by the
r8169 driver.
Of dubious value is further information obtained using a Ubuntu Feisty
Fawn alternate cd text-mode install.
That install CD used a 2.6.20-rcX kernel, which supported hardware fine,
and installed mostly correctly. However the logic in the installer which
attempst to determine if an operating system is already installed (for
purposes of making boot-loader installation decisions) decided that no
operating system was installed, despite the installation of _three_ (3)
seperate operating systems (as seen above), NetBSD, OpenBSD, and FreeBSD.
I suspect the installer's checking routines are not tuned for this family
of operating systems, but it was very disconcerting to receive this very
wrong conclusion. (Yeah I should report to ubuntu but their silly
launchpad thing wants a registration and then their misconfigured
mailserver failed the graymail test, and .. blah.)
