Your hardware is definitely too new for current Etch (2.6.18 kernel). > In order to see if there was an updated driver to be had I tried > installing with > 64studio_2.1_amd64.iso > and debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso dated 16-6-2008 > Both with results similar to the above. I would have expected the second image (debian-testing-amd64-CD-1.iso) to support your hardware as it should have had the 2.6.24, or at least a 2.6.22 kernel and I can find the following matches based on the lspci info included in the hardware-summary you sent: [10de:0ad0] ahci (bus driver) [10de:0759] amd74xx (disk controller) [10ec:8139] 8139too or 8139cp (NIC) The syslog you sent shows a 2.6.18 kernel, so that failing is expected. My suggestion is to try the recent D-I Lenny Beta 2 release (available from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) as that is guaranteed to have the 2.6.24 kernel.
