Hi Robert, I've bought a pair of SATA disks and done some testing using the onboard Via SATA controller on my ASUS A8V Deluxe motherboard using an amd64 etch system running kernel 2.6.16-2-amd64-k8-smp (2.6.16-17).
The result is that things worked fine for the restore, the disk was recognised correctly as sda. Which brings me back to my earlier point about the self-compiled kernel. Could you try a stock Debian kernel and run with this? Cheers, Andree -- Andree Leidenfrost Sydney - Australia
