what kernel version are they running? Etch is currently at some version of 2.6.18 and 2.6.19 was only just released. Now maybe sarge doesn't support that processor, but I can't imagine that CentOS RHES or Fedora are running a kernel much newer than etch's. That said, maybe there is not true support for that processor in 2.6.18 and the red hat folks have put together something that they haven't released, but I doubt it. Surely, they are referring to sarge when they say Debian won't install/run.
The server is brand new out the box and is as bare as a baby's bottom. Installing Etch would bring the kernel up to ver 2.6.18 I think and I don't believe the support story. My guess is similar to yours, and I'm awaiting for a response, that they are referring to Sarge and not Etch. As Kevin said, the Debian community is as much a support as I'll need and I personally don't need to fork out $$$ to have them do what I can do just as well. -- Regards Justin Hartman PGP Key ID: 102CC123
