I am trying to install Mandrake 9.1 using a SATA drive and it is not supported. I posted on the installation mailing list and they recommended posting here. Is there anyway to install using a SATA drive?
Besides SATA drives plugged onto 3ware controllers, I don't know of others known to work back to 9.1 days. Concerning 9.2, we added PDC open-source'd drivers I personnally never got it to work with PDC20319 chips. Others reported it to work with PDC20376 chips based boards. Kernel people should be able to tell you more about controllers actually supported.
What SATA controller do you have?
Bye, Gwenole.
