I think I can access to the kernel log file messages and send it from d-i Busybox via TFTP, so I will give a try. > The DE660+ is listed as 'should be supported' on the Amiga PCMCIA > ethernet page you gave.

Both of them are working nicely on current NetBSD release; I don't know if there some sharing in the codebase of the Amiga PCMCIA driver of Linux and NetBSD. > Try building your installer kernel without support for Atari and Q40. All of them are embedded in the nic-modules udeb, so I don't know how to build an initrd image that has Amiga NICs support without the Atari and Q40 ones. It shouldn't matter as d-i gives me the chance to manually select apne, so I can discard that is just an automatic detection issue. I will post back hopefully with the kernel message.
