I believe there is a bug in the aic79xx.o module for kernel-image-2.6.8-1. I
assumed you tried to use linux26 during the sarge install. You can use the
2.4 series kernel during the install. At the boot: just hit the enter key or
manually type linux and it will install a 2.4.27 kernel.
2.6.9 kernel was just uploaded into unstable. You can try installing that
kernel once your initial install with a 2.4 kernel is done.
