i did an install onto an SATA-only machine this past week. one of the images of the "beta" debian installer worked (boot floppy images on the 100MB iso image), or at least worked well enough that i could mount, format, and install onto the SATA disks. intel ICH5 chipset, in my case - it would be good for someone else to try it out and verify that it worked for them. previous symptom on my hardware had been that stuff would detect the ICH5 chipset, but the ide-disk.o module would hard-lock the machine. i think what i was using were the images from 2/24 or 2/25 - probably was the 2/24 build, since i think i did the install on the 25th. at any rate, you should probably start with the current images and work backwards a ways. elijah -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
