Title: SATA support in Dell Power Edge 750
You can try to re-compile the binaries but with a newer version of parted (1.6.17 seems to work).  You need to download the tarball and put it in the src directory and also modify make.d/parted.rul to reflect the updated version.  Re-compile and it should work.
 
Alternatively, you can try to use my kernel which I have already done the above (but there is a possibility my kernel does not work with your hardware though...)

Subject: [Sisuite-users] SATA support in Dell Power Edge 750

Hi all,

         I know that there was a fair bit of discussion on this but I am not a linux expert and I would need a bit more precision. So was anybody able to run systemimager on a poweredge 750

server using SI 3.2.3 (Intel SATA chipset) ? I rebuilt the kernel using libata kernel patch (I did make install_binaries) and I generated an .iso after that. Booting off that .iso, it seems to see my sata drive and puts it under /dev/sda1 but the master script seems to hang when it runs parted.

Has anyone encountered anything similar ?

Thanks in advance !

Simon
