Hi, I just got a Dell box and want to do a fresh Debian network install on it. It currently has Windows Vista on it.
The box has a Nvidia nForce Sata controller and according to Nvidia the linux driver for it is called sata_nv and has been included in all linux distributions for the last couple 2 years. Currently Windows reports a Nvidia nForce 430/410 Serial ATA controller. I also have a Microsoft iSCSI Initiator. When I do the network install, I select English for all the initial defaults. Then the system try to load a bunch of drivers and stops on IDE driver. After awhile, a message shows up saying that is was unable to locate a cdrom. Yes it has loaded at the initial software from it. The cdrom that I have installed on this system is a Sony CRX310S with a SATA interface. In fact the disk and the cdrom/DVD drives are both SATA. I have a few questions 1- Is that sata_nv driver that NVIDIA talks about, included in the network install of Debian? 2- if so, how do I tell Debian to load it for all drives. Are there switches when loading the driver? Is there a document that talks about this? Thank you for your help! Guy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
