Here we go

{1} cat /proc/version (i386; sk98lin working)
Linux version 2.6.16-1-486 (Debian 2.6.16-4) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 
4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1)) #1 Tue Mar 28 15:35:19 UTC 2006

{2} cat /proc/version (i386 after installation & reboot; sk98lin no longer 
working)
Linux version 2.6.15-1-686 (Debian 2.6.15-8) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 
4.0.3 20060212 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-9)) #2 Mon Mar 6 15:27:08 UTC 2006

{3} cat /proc/version (amd64; sk98lin not working)
Linux version 2.6.15-1-amd64-generic (Debian 2.6.15-7) ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc 
version 4.0.3 20060212 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-9)) #2 Thu Feb 23 04:51:53 
UTC 2006

Changing to kernel version 2.6.16 could do.

Greetings Georg.

I have no idea what this issue is about, but it looks like a kernel issue. 
I hope the kernel package maintainers can help you out.

Not really as amd64 and i386 kernels are compiled from the same source.

Can you please provide the output of 'cat /proc/version/' after booting 
the installer and switching to VT2? If possible both for the i386 
installation CD and the amd64 one.

Comments/Problems:

The module sk98lin needed by the network HW was not loaded automatically.
Choosing it from the list that showed after the automatic loading failure had 
no effect.
Changing to the VT2, inserting ist manally by "modprobe sk98lin" and 
inspecting the list put out by lsmod showed that ist was loaded.
But in /proc/net/sk98lin/ there was not the expected Document "eth0" - there 
was nothing at all.
I guess that the driver module could not be assigned correctly to the lan 
interface.

As I found out trying to install the i386 daily-build-image (loaded down on 
April 17 at 10:11pm), there is a working sk98lin module loading 
automatically.
Perhaps it is worth while taking its source code and compiling it in an amd64 
environment?

Greetings,
Georg
