Re: Partitioning problem on ACER ASPIRE 5672WLMi during installation process

2007-01-17 Thread glycerin
Hi.
I've tryed this way but nothing is possible.
I didn't find anything where I can set the partition manually and
preserve the old one.

Any new advice?

I've tested the same netinstallation for another machine with IDE disks
and all was ok. It seems that the problem is using the SATA disks.

Best Regards.
Gabriele

 If you choose guided partitioning, you still get a chance to make manual
 adjustments before writing the partition table.

What medium are you using to boot?  If sarge (3.1) try typing expert26
at the boot prompt; this should give you the option to load particular
modules to handle the SATA disk.

Alternatively, you could download etch (soon to be stable release) and
try with that; it deals with later hardware better:

oops sorry... ignore previous post!  brain not in gear :)

If the module is loaded I'm not sure where to go from here:

File an installation report giving detail of the steps you took and the
problems  you've encountered

Is there a work-around?
