I tried an amd64 installation on an Intel DG965SS board with 8 GByte.
The system is very very slow (installation more than 1 day.) and
I got corrupt files from the net (e.g. apt-get update).
I have read that this should be a Intel Bios Bug since version
1669 (curr: 1719), if using more than 4 GDB.
Does anyone has sucessfully installed Debian amd64 on such a motherboard?
If yes, I would like to know which BIOS Version and
boot parameter (noacpi, etc.) you are using.
thanks,

Yes,
Use the following boot option:
If using lilo:
append="mem=8832M"
Otherwise, just add mem=8832M for grub.
Then it will back to normal.
I wouldn't touch the BIOS updates unless this works for you, I tried
updating the BIOS 2-4 revisions and none of them helped me for my 965
board.
