Package: linux-image-2.6.18-6-amd64
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-18etch1
Severity: important
The amd64 Debian (Etch, possibly others too) installation CD doesn't boot
on Intel DQ35JO motherboards, at least with Core-2-Duo CPUs. Google finds
several reports of this roblem too. Same holds for the installed kernel,
and for any vanilla kernel.org kernel. The problem is in the
CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG kernel parameter. It doesn't seem to work on these
systems. Either disabling it at compile time, or specifying "pci=nommconf"
on the kernel command line fixes the problem. Therefore, one can either
choose to switch this option completely off in the kernel, or at the very
least, mention the problem and the "pci=nommconf" solution among
"supported alternative ways of booting the CD".
Thanks

I take it that means "No, I do not still have access to that hardware".
Closing.
