Hmmm, that page shows a quite complicated approach... > You can also specify that SIS should use the drivers listed on that page, > but I am not very familiar with how to do that.

As the install step passed, the trouble sems to be that the sc-initrd (used for booting and generated by systemconfigurator) doesn't contain the harddisk driver. From the page mentioned by Michael it looks like that sould be the ata_piix module (and libata). The easy workaround for that is: - find the PCI ID for your SATA device: lspci | grep -i SATA remember the first string in the format [[[[<domain>]:]<bus>]:][<slot>][.[<func>]] - find the PCI vendor and device ID corresponding to that: lspci -n remember the [<vendor>]:[<device>] string - create in the deployment image located in /var/lib/systemimager/images/... a file in etc/systemconfig/hardware.lst containing a line like <vendor> <device> scsi ata_piix It leads after deployment to the generation of an /etc/modprobe.conf file containing alias scsi_hostalias ata_piix The general problem is that the detection system used in systemimager recognizes the ata_piix controller as an IDE controller and that doesn't lead to the above mentione alias line.
