I've been trying to set up a debian box with an amd64 processor. ?Just a standard install: ?stable is fine.
I've been round the install twice now and each time the same thing happens.
I myself went through the same fun'n'games a couple of weeks ago - From what I could gather from Debian's docs, there are no "official" amd64 packages in Sarge, so I jumped in with Etch. Aside from a couple of hicups, everything appears to be running fine.
Fortunately, though, sarge-amd64 has got security support - so the unnofficial packages basically are official.
(We've since found Jenny's problem on IRC - unfortunate case of broken install, she's working on it now...)
