Well I made a netinst image for someone that had a Dell SE 2850 (not PE) since they needed a newer kernel to support their raid card, so I updated the amd64 sarge netinst cd to have 2.6.11 kernel instaed. After that they had no problems installing on their machine. Feel free to give that a try if you want. Changing from one disk to another after installing may leave a bunch of files you ahve to update, so I am not sure which one may have been missed on your system. http://www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64/ Good luck.
