Thanks for your rapid answer, Stephen.
The bios only offers "IDE" and "RAID" SATA mode, and the IDE is enabled.
So I'm afraid your solution doesn't apply to my Vostro :-/

Does your SATA controller support multiple modes of operation? For
example, the Optiplex 755's must be tweaked in the BIOS before we run
unattended on them otherwise they BSOD on us during early bluescreen
setup. SATA controllers often have a "compatibility" mode that they
can be switched to, usually for the sake of OS installation, and then
switched back.
Unfortunately I don't have access to any Vostro's, but maybe this will
put you in the right direction.

Hi and thanks for your great work !
I've some hardware problems with my new Dell Vostro 400 :
* The SATA hard drive is not auto-recognized. If I modprobe
ata_piix, it recognize it, but complains non stop "failed to
IDENTIFY" and other ata2 exceptions
* The ethernet card seems to be ok, everything is ok in ifconfig,
but nothing seems to go on wire
* I can't type too fast on my usb keyboard if i don't want Linux
to miss some chars...
As i've no network, no hard drive and no usb drives, i can't offer you
any complete log. But if you want some specific information, i'll try
to copy it.
I've tried to build the tftpboot cvs tree in order to change kernel
version, but i obtain the same symptoms when booting.
The computer is working fine when I boot system rescue cd
http://www.sysresccd.org/
Do you have any advice ? If you don't, can you tell me if it is
possible to adapt /etc/master script to be run from a sysrescd ? I've
already tried, but after the dosemu copy and reboot, the install has
never started. The files seems to have been copied, so I don't know
what's the matter.
Friendly,
Boris
