Hi all Thanks for the replies, both on and off list.
Yesterday I went to a local PC shop for some rounded IDE cables and decided I'd better buy a cheap network card too. Installed it (Realtek 8139 chipset, well supported in Debian) and re-installed with the netinstall CD I'd got earlier. This time, it worked. After a few trail & errors I got a fresh 2.6.17.1 kernel installed and low and behold: the onboard network was recognised by the forcedeth driver!
Now the base system is installed it's time for the services. Apache-2, the latest Webmin, an FTP server and such will be the next challenge. Thanks again for your help!
One more thing though: is the development team interested in the output of the hwinfo command? Or any other command(s) to get a better understanding of the AM2 platform? The hwinfo.txt file I have is approxx 155 kB in size.
