Of course I My case is very similar. In my work there is IBM p615 and a b50. I love debian and tried to install it on both. The b50 was simple, just recreate the iso (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=260433). Unfortunately the p615 does not boot with 32bits kernels and I didn't thought that it was possible to add a 64bits in time for sarge. So I (with the help of some gentoo fans) installed gentoo and started playing with the possibility of building debian on top of it.
