I had to rebuild the kernel with 2.6.19 (which is the first kernel to
have support for the intel agp device).
You will need the "kernel-package" package.
Download the source of the kernel from one of the kernel.org mirrors and
then expand it into a directory (say) ~/src
copy /boot/config... from your existing debian machine into
~/src/.config
then make menuconfig (or other kernel config tool).
I have an Intel DG965SS motherboard and in order to allow it to
recognise my IDE DVD RW (I have SATA hard drives) I had to make IDE
support builtin (as opposed to a module) AND the use "all-generic-ide"
boot parameter
then use make-kpkg to build you a deb for your machine which you then
install
(There are full instructions in /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz)
