Thanks
for the reply,
Your insight are really appreciated. So I have downloaded parted 1.6.22, I
removed the parted patch from the patch directory and ran a build. Now, it
doesn't crash anymore but it reports that /dev/sda does not exist ... so I guess
that I was wrong when I say that it did see my SATA drive proberly, thats
too bad. Weird though, when I run the make I can see that it is installing the
driver for the ATA_PIIX.
So
here is how I applied the libata patch (Let me know if you see anything wrong
there)
-->
For libata
1.
copied the patch in the patch folder
2.
modified the linux.i386.config so that is build the ATA_PIIX driver in the
kernel
3.
make clean
4.
make install_binaries
-->
For parted
1.
copied the parted-1.6.22 source in the /src folder
2.
modified the /make.d/parted.rul file to point to the right
version
3.
make install_binaries
After
that I generated an new .iso burnt it and here is where I end up, it still does
not see my sata drive.
I
tried to run you kernel but it fails with the following
error
chown:
/lib/modules : Directory does not exist or something like
that
Any
idea ?
Also,
do I need to make a new autoinstall CD every time I recompile the kernel or does
it download the new kerner image from the server ?
Thanks
for your help !! Its getting a bit discouraging but its interesting
:)

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...)Cheers,Bernard

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