The P5B is an amd64 board: - Intel(R) Core2 Extreme / Core2 Duo Ready - Intel(R) Pentium(R) Extreme / Pentium(R) D / Pentium(R) 4 / Celeron(R) D Ready http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3l2=11l3=307model=1178modelmenu=1 The ia64 architecture is only for Itanium CPUs. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://people.connexer.com/~roberto http://www.connexer.com Thanks for noticing that I had the wrong architecture. I have an Intel E6300 and didn't realize the connection with amd64. With that straightened out, I was able to get etch installed today. I basically followed the debian manuals, but I am detailing what I did, in case someone else can benefit. The problem with the intel 965 chipset is quiet common and prevents using cd-roms to do the installation of most distributions at this time. With a version of linux already on the computer, the approach of booting an iso image copied to the hard drive, followed by net-install works. Luckly, I was able to install mandriva-2007, from cd-rom, on my new setup, a week ago. - From http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ , chose other images then chose amd64 which goes to http://people.debian.org/~aba/d-i/images/daily/ - Chose hd-media, and downloaded the vmlinuz and initrd.gz files from inside the /gtk directory, and put them in /boot/newinstall on my Mandriva-2007 system. - from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, I went to netinst CD image then amd64, and downloaded debian-testing-amd64-netinstall.iso. I put this into the / directory of the Mandriva-2007 system. - I added this entry to grub file menu.lst in /boot/grub of mandriva-2007 title debian install kernel (hd0,0)/newinstall/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=1200 devfs=mount,dall initrd (hd0,0)/newinstall/initrd.gz - when I booted, the installer started, scanned and found the iso file and from there, the net installation was straight forward. I tried to install the 64studio_11.11.1_i386.an_iso in the same way but this did not work, even though its a debian amd64 derivative. It was mounted but then it looked for the cd-rom.

I have gotten grub to find and load initrd.gz and vmlinuz which I copied to /boot/newinstall on my hardrive. I took these from a 64studio.iso. But of course that just brough me back to the point in the installation where the cd-rom is not recognized, since these are taken from an install cd. At least if I could find the right vmlinuz and initrd.gz to use (the ones for hd-media) I think this will work. Thanks for your help. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
