Hi there,

I'm trying to install Debian Sarge on my Dell Dimension 5150 using the
netinst CD.
There are two problems:
1. The HD is not recognized. The controller is an Intel 82801GB,
connected to a SATA hard drive.
2, The Network card is not recognized. It is an Intel PRO 100/VE.

I've read elsewhere that the HD problem may be solved by modprobing
sata_piix. However, this module is not on the installation CD.

Apparently, the second problem can be solved by tweaking the source
files of the eepro100 module.

So, here are my questions:

- How do I get the sources for the eepro100 module? Is that just
a simple apt-get? How do I then make it into a kernel module?

- How do I get a copy of the sata_piix module?

- Once I have these modules, how do I make a netinst installation
CD with the two on them?

Any help is much appreciated, especially pointers to documentation.

Gabor
