Well ... to me it does not seem like a conflict in my hardware because
as i said before Fedora 7, Opensuse 10.3 and Ubuntu Gutsy (BETA) seems
to work perfectly well with this hardware configuration. Only Debian has
trouble to work on it - can not even let the kernel boot. Then my
conclusion is that it is Debian related and not hardware related. But
strange because Ubuntu is for a big part also just Debian. Anyway thank
you for your response.
