I think you need a newer kernel than 2.6.8 to run an ATI chipset.  If
you can find one with 2.6.12, you could try that.  For amd64 I keep one
around at www.tinyplanet.ca/~lsorense/amd64 while for i386 only you
would have to look elsewhere for one (I imagine they exist).

You could also try your luck on the daily testing/unstable installer
builds and see if they do any better.

Good luck, with ATI chips and linux you will need it.

Comments/Problems: Ill just write amessage from
the installation: Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your
hardware are not available yet.Simply proceeding with the install may make
these modules available later ide-mod, ide-probe-mode, ide-detect, ide-scsi.

Hi Marek de Stone

I assume from your uname output, that you used linux26 while installing.

In order to help you, we need output of:
(lspci; lspci -n)|sort

In order to get this information, could you boot with a knoppix CD?

BTW:
As you use an AMD64 machine, you could also try the unofficial AMD64 port [1].

Bye
Christian
