Hi,

I have sucessfully installed debian-amd64 on the same hardware but I
also was not able to download any packags while the debian-installer was
running. Therefor I downloaded the latest netinstall which dows not
really needs to download any packages. After installing this way I was
able to a deb mirrors on the running system.

regards
bjoern
