The on-board 82573V/82574V probably also is not yet supported by the e1000 driver in that kernel. I recently installed amd64 Sarge onto a similar system (a Celeron D CPU on a motherboard with same chipset, ICH7 SATA and 82574V gigabit ethernet) by: - booting with Ubuntu Dapper amd64 live dvd - setting up my partitions, software raid, lvm, etc - doing cdebootstrap - building/installing up to date kernel - installing grub - praying and rebooting > Intel Pentium D805 Dual core 2.66GHz > > Will Debian be able to run on this hardware without modification? The CPU will work as dual core as long as you boot a kernel with SMP support. Note that the D805 is an EM64T processor so you could run either 32-bit i386 or 64-bit amd64 architecture.
