[expert] Can't install into Intel D865GLC MB with SATA drives

2003-10-16 Thread Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Please let me know when you do build the disk (and drivers) for this.  My
machine is basically unusable until this happens.  I don't understand how M$
can work and install without special drivers!

Will do ... I'll post on the lists when they are out...

Since just about every manufacturer makes their own drivers for M$,
or releases their specs / documentations to M$...

On the linux development side, most drivers get done when some people
start needing them, and then it happens by reading whatever info you can,
and start trying to build by trial and error ...

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.


What SATA controller?
That board does not have any integrated, so...
Oops, I read the wrong MB number.  It's the Intel 865GLC, sorry.

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


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..
Where can I find this driver?

Bob

It's not built yet... AFAIK..., and if MDK won't be building any driver 
floppies, I will build them and post them on my site...

But I need to get the newer libata integrated in my kernels first...

And I know that one of the OEM partners has demanded the SATA support for 
atleast Intel Boards...

But you will atleast have to wait a week, before I can get around to building 
those driver disks...
