Yup, that worked great! But in addition to the sata driver, I also had to add scsi_mod and sd_mod. Works great now, only I had to change the fstab to use sda instead of hde. So in case I want to boot the install kernel again, I am screwed, or is there a way to use a specific fstab depending on your kernel-version? But then the netinstall CDs do not provide the resue option anymore AFAIK, I might not need the install kernel anymore. With this hint, I got the selfcompiled kernel to work as well, including audio, thanks a lot! Christian
