Hi, I am a Debian and linux newbie. I recently purchased a Dell SC420 and want to install Sarge. The Dell SC420 has a SATA drive. I am attempting install using the 20041120 daily build netinst CD image. The installer fails to recognize my hard drive. Through google (http://lists.progeny.com/archive/discover-workers/200410/msg00008.html) I found the advice "Whilst the PATA CDROM drive was detected the main hard disk was not - I needed to manually modprobe ata_piix for d-i to run through correctly." However, I'm not sure how to do this since the ata_piix module is not included on the CD image. Through google (http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2004/10/msg00348.html) I found a bug report saying "The kernel-image-2.4.26-1 package doesn't seem to contain the ata_piix.o module" due to a bug in a Makefile. Both of these bugs are reportedly fixed. What should I do? Can I download ata_piix.o from somewhere and use it during my install process? Do I need to build my own netinst image, and if so, how do I do that?
