[expert] Can't install into Intel D845GVAD2 MB with SATA drives

[Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

Hello,

I'm trying to load Mandrake on a brand new P4 2.8ghz system using the Intel D845GVAD2, with two 10K 
ROM SATA drives.  I have an IDE CDROM drive attached.

Mdk 9.0 would not find the CD Drive - died right away.
Mdk 9.1 would load some more from the CD, but then would fail looking for the hard disk.  It wants 
to know what SCSI module to use.  I tried a whole bunch, all to no avail.

Help!  I want to install (preferrably 9.0) on this lightning-fast machine!  Thanks.

Bob

What SATA controller?
That board does not have any integrated, so...

Sorry, 
no can do :-(

the SATA support for most chipsets boards has just gotten to the process where 
they get integrated in the current kernels, so the first MDK distro to 
support other SATA than Sil3112 are MDK 9.2 + driver disk..
