I had no problems installing Debian on it, but since I updated to woody i have a big problem with my SiS900 network device! The hardware is found by the kernel without any problem, but when the System "Configures the network devices" the whole boot-process stops for about a minute and the kernel says "Media Link Off". Then everything goes on as it should - but ONE minute delay on a laptop is a very long time (its being booted and halted several times a day!).

It happens to me on my laptop as well.... I just don't boot very often because I
only use suspend and resume :)
A thing that does work for me is pressing CTRL-C during this delay. It usually
skips immediately.
ANother way to solve this is to only boot with a network cable attached.
