Oh, sorry! So I assume you've tried installing from floppies to force the modules / drivers to come from the right source. Try the debian-boot maillist, too. The guys that wrote the code will answer your question. You could also try the Debian Mailing List Archives. You knew all that, though. My only excuse for the lame suggestions is that I've been doing tech-support for my 2 year old's Playschool flashlight all morning, i.e., "Turn the switch. *Now* press the button...", "Nothing happened, daddy."
