Well, first let me try to figure out what are you really doing: - Are you using Debian Installer or sarge installed system? - Could you please provide the output of "(lspci ; lspci -n) | sort"? - Could you please provide the output of "lsmod"? Looks like a kernel related issue and might be good if you could try to use a new snapshot of Debian Installer (in case you're using it) and check if it works. Otherwise, if you're using a installed system, might be good to try to update your kernel version and check if it solves your problem.
