Thanks for answering! I tried something like that already - but there were also networking issues (refer to Bug#324011 - sorry for not using the same bug number, I'm not really experienced in giving bug reports and feedback). Short summary on my installation experience: The main trouble is, that the sata_uli.ko is available in the installer (but still requires special treatment to load it - as mentioned), but not in the kernelpackage 2.6.8 (which is used by amd64-testing, as you already noted) and therefore also not in the initrd.img --> kernel panic at boot. The debian installer seems to work fine - after I included the missing module using the rescue-mode (via usb_storage, since the network card is not recognized), the system booted up and the installer finished its work (at least tried to in some aspects, since there was no network). Now my next step is to fix the network support; but that's not an installer issue (anyway, maybe you could include the bcm57xx-module which is suggested by broadcom). [Off topic:] In meantime I have a running debian system (now running a 2.6.12.5-kernel with built-in sata and networking support) with graphics, office... - I did not test sound so far. Because of the network "failure" during install there was a misconfiguration of tasksel/aptitude (came up that nothing was installed, and every time I tried to change the settings - e.g. if I wanted to install a KDE... instead of the base system - it did nothing and just ignored my input). So I had to install everything manually with apt. Best regards, Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
