OK,
a little update from myself,
I managed to get the installer running by disabling framebuffer and
setting iommu=soft
you can find the options with the help screens being smart i managed
not to write it down and/or remember the value for the framebuffer.
However, KEEP WAITING.
it seems that for some reason it takes ages to find hardware etc.
Also it's pausing for several seconds between screens (is that
related to iommu=soft - I couldn't find an option to enable iommu in
bios, google suggests that quite a few motherboards have that option).
* Network configuration over dhcp works fine
* but it doesn't find any disks.
So after getting it to boot my nightmares came true and etch doesn't
seem to support the disks. If there's something to know about please
let me know :)
after searching google a bit more without useful results i just tried
to load all modules on the installer cd so I wouldn't miss anything.
No go, disks aren't recognized

Hello,
does anyone have experience wether Edgy will work with the amd64
option of this Server?
Why not ask on an Ubuntu list? If you meant Etch (I'm hoping you
did),
then yes Etch supports amd64 just fine.
Hehe, yes etch, got enough trouble with ubuntu on the desktops.
Well, yes amd64 support seems to be fine at least until the etch cd
halts.
I booted with the the following options (it just came here while I
was writing the first mail):
linux
expert
linux aic7xx=no_reset hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false noapic nolapic
however it just sits there with the last messages being:
Trying to move old root to /initrd ... okay
Mounted devfs on /dev
Freeing unused kernel memory: 116k freed
Setting up filesystem, please wait ...
well I am waiting (about 15 minutes now) and nothing happens. I'll
try a few other options but in the meantime

PS: sorry for the private posting. gotta get used to my new mail
