For some information about Intel, AMD, x86-64, amd64, etc., see x86-64 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Google and Wikipedia are your friends.

You could join the forum at Debian User Forums; Index page and post your question there. You may need to be more specific about freezes on the detecting network hardware screen . Quick guess -- the current version of Debian, squeeze, does not come with proprietary drivers, so you may need to find a driver for your ethernet and, if the RAID you are describing is hardware and/or fake RAID, then you may need to find one of those. I know that the installer looks for a DHCP server, but that would after identifying your network capability.

I also recall that there was either: 1) a special CD for installing on troublesome systems, or 2) an install option for that. I haven't needed such a capability for a long time, so you'd need to look for that. Again the Debian forum may be able to help you. (I do know that I had installed Debian on a Dell box that was so old that it did not have USB, and the installer hung there. I told the installer to skip that section by entering an installer message at boot time, and was then able to complete the install.)

We recently installed amd64 Debian squeeze on an Intel 4-core Xeon box, and had no trouble beyond the DHCP issue. We're using that as a virtual machine server, and every OS so far has installed fairly easily, but, of course, that's with some virtualized components (disk, network).

Good luck ... cheers, drl

NAME

       installer - Solaris Web Start installer utility

SYNOPSIS

       installer [-locales list] [-nodisplay] [-noconsole] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION

       The  installer utility invokes a Web Start install wizard sequence which will lead the user through a sequence of installation panels. This
       installer utility is found on many CDs that are shipped with Solaris and it will be found among the top level files of these CDs.

       When the installer is on a CD being accessed from a desktop file manager, the installer can be double clicked  to  start  the  installation
       sequence. If the user is not currently the system's root user, the root user password will be requested.

       The  installer  utility	can  also  be  run  from  other  UNIX scripts. Usually, a script is used in conjunction with the utility's -nodis-
       play option.  Add the -noconsole option for non-interactive scripts.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -locales list   Selects product translations for install, corresponding to the specified list of locales if the specified  locale  transla-
		       tions  are present on the installation media. Locales are supplied in a comma-separated list following the -locales option.
		       An example list would appear as follows:

		       installer -locales fr,de,it

		       This would install products with translations for the French, German, and Italian locales.

       -nodisplay      Runs the install without a graphical user interface. Use the default product install unless it was modified by the -locales
		       options.

       -noconsole      Run  the  install  without any interactive text console device. Useful when paired with -nodisplay for non-interactive UNIX
		       script use.

       -debug	       Outputs extra information about what the install is doing. Mainly for install diagnostic purposes.

FILES

       /var/sadm/install/logs	       location of installation log files
