What's weird is that the keyboard works fine initially, because I can select the boot parameters and so forth. I am using the installer from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64/iso-cd/debian-31r0a-amd64-binary-1.iso I do have two SATA hard drives; perhaps I need a newer boot kernel? Reading through the list archives it sounds like people have had some issues with SATA pre-2.6.12. Are there snapshots in .ISO form? Thanks for your help, Len!
