I've tried installing Squeeze (via NetInstall) on a brand new iMac

proceed further. Is this a known problem? Should I try a weekly
Testing build?
You may need to install a backported/updated kernel. It seems that
support for that card was included in kernel 2.6.34:

OK, thanks, so far so good. Using the current weekly wheezy netinst, it
recognizes the Ethernet and installs OK. But I haven't been able to get
it to boot yet, since at the end of the installation, when I added the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX "nomodeset reboot=pci"
to /etc/default/grub, I then forgot to run update-grub!!
So on boot, it enters GRUB, some lines scroll up the screen but then I
get weird flashing color effects and nothing else happens. I hope my
forgetting to update-grub is the only problem.
I'll try again.
Cheers, Mike.
