Any solutions? TIA. Somewhere I read an explicit recommendation not to download the latest images, but that was a few months ago. I don't remember where I read it, but maybe using a different version of the Etch installer might help. Mine is also a T43, and the image I used worked.

I do, because it seems the names of the devices of SATA drive changes between 2.6 and 2.4 (am I wrong ? in 2.4 they are hdc and hdd and on 2.6 they are sda and sdb or the reverse) and although it would be trivial to change with a rescue disk, I am making a RAID1 between the two disk and the header that identifies the devices are wrong, so the device can't be initialize (unless, by hand).
