Package: installation
Version: sarge beta
Severity: normal

Current Install Kernels do not include proper Serial-ATA Support.
I believe that several install problems with SATA-Devices could be solved when 
install-kernels included the libata-patch

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/

which is also included in 2.6 series kernels. SATA-Devices are treated as SCSI-Devices.

Drive mapping issues with ich5 should be solved with this patch and it supports 
hardware which is quite common nowadays (promise 
37x), that is not (yet) supported by vanilla 2.4.22 kernel.

May those day's when i had to debootstrap new systems because of lacking 
kernel-support for thy new hardware be over soon ;-)

Bye,
O.H1
