Package: installation-reports Version: sarge Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Installation of Debian sarge on a K8N Neo2 fails when using the linux26 kernel option. The hard disk is connected to the SATA controller, the CDROM is a classical (parallel) ATAPI drive (problem does not relate to earlier reports showing failure with SATA CDROMs). The installation procedure hangs as soon as the language selection is entered. If this is bypassed, the installation hangs at probing the USB ports. Installing from a 2.4 kernel works except that the realtek network chip (gigabyte lan, see below) does not work. Note that we attempted to install this as a 32 bit system even though an AMD64 CPU is installed.
