Andy,
I just bought an ASUS P5A mobo with 128 MB 100 MHZ RAM,
and a 2940 controller. I used the zero floppy installation
using Linux Press's CD set that comes with Dale Scheetz's
Debian Installation book. I think these are 'official cd'
images. URL www.linuxpress.com
It works like a charm. I did have to remove the xdm package
and killed the xdm process so the system quit hanging,
but not boot problems at all.
