I don't have the time right now to put together a full formal report, but I thought I should at least mention my experience installing the etch beta3 amd64 netinst onto a system with an Asus K8N-DL motherboard and a SATA HDD. At initial glance, everything seems to have gone rather well.
The main thing to note is that, although it booted from the external USB CD drive fine, the installer couldn't use the CD afterwards - there'd be USB errors like "device descriptor read/64, error -110" and whatever. modprobe -r'ing ehci modules and relying on OHCI fixed that, though. (I also replugged-in the drive and remounted it, but I don't know if that was necessary.) It was minorly annoying that it didn't offer to let me set the severity level of messages that debconf asks me about in installing packages: I thought I was being asked suspiciously little before I realised what had happened. -- Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
