I had a similar experience two weeks back.  The sarge netinstall CD
failed to recognise the nVidia onboard chipsets.  I inserted a pci NIC
to get the base system, and on reboot, both NICs were visible, so I took
the PCI one out again.  I never did sort out the onboard nVidia sound,
though.  I had to rob an old SoundBlaster Live PCI card from another box.

I couldn't find anything useful there.  I had the impression it was all
for gamers and high-end video cards.
