Well I found reports of similar errors on 2.6.32 kernel from ubuntu, which makes it seem there might be a problem in 2.6.32 for that driver. You could try kmuto's unofficial installer which uses a newer kernel. Those are very well done and often helps on hardware that doesn't like the official installer. http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/ -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
