Etch was EOL many years ago. Lenny came next and it is EOL also.
Squeeze is current, and Wheezy will be released within 6 months or so.
Try the Squeeze and Wheezy installers.
2.6.24 is way too old for Ivy Bridge. A little Googling will tell you
that various fixes for Ivy Bridge were still being submitted in Linux
3.5, around June/July 2012 IIRC.
Apparently there are significant differences between Sandy and Ivy
Bridge. I'm not an Intel hardware engineer so I can't say for sure.
Given that Foxconn is an Intel licensee I would think you could contact
Intel engineers directly and ask this question.
What I can say for sure is that you shouldn't be working with EOL
operating systems and kernels on the newest chipset platforms. That's
always a recipe for problems.
