Re: Problems with installation Debian 31r1
Hi. Please in the future use more informative subject lines. There's
too much traffic in this mailing list for everyone to read *everything*;
so people rely on informative subject lines to decide what to read and
what not. Without one, people are likely to just skip your email.
See http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#bespecific
for more (the whole document is worth reading, but this part is
relevant).

Try installing the "forcedeth" module manually.

The kernel on Sarge install disks (2.6.8?), as I understand it, has
crappy SATA support. I understand that this has been fixed in more
recent kernels. This is a common problem discussed on the Debian
AMD64 mailing list. There are several possible solutions; two I've heard
are:
1) install onto an IDE/PATA disk, build a more recent kernel, move
your install to the SATA disk (including putting grub/lilo there),
and pointing your BIOS to the new disk;
2) using a more recent build of the installer that includes a
more recent kernel.
But my main recommendation to you is to try the debian-amd64 mailing
list, which is where most issues with installing and using amd64 port
get discussed.
Cheers,
