Hi, After reading up on a few other problem-reports with Debian-installer and SATA- support I attempted modprobing sata_via on the console before the partitioning step of the installer. (D�h! Should've thought of that before.) This helped recognise my SATA-hdd and be able to partition it. The drive was recognised as /dev/sda instead of /dev/hde as 2.6 does, though.
I tried to figure out why the sata_via module wasn't loaded but I couldn't figure out if it went wrong in hw-detect or because the pci.lst (is it even used for chipsets?) from discover1 doesn't contain an entry for the chipset (which it doesn't) or even something entirely different. I used dailybuilds 20040608 and 20040609 and Test Candidate 1 to get a bare installation working. Only TC1 succeeded to get to the final prompt. The two daily builds failed over installing libdb2. regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
