Comments/Problems:
The Dell optiplex GX280 are the new professional desktop from Dell for
the year to come. Those boxen are USB only (no more ps2 ports) and the
HD are sata drives with an IDE compatibility mode in BIOS.
This installation was with the IDE compatibility mode enable :
- The autodetection of the CDROM didn't work. Going in exprt mode and not
loading ata_piix solved this but..
- I then wasn't able to have the hard drive detected
I tried a bunch of module loading/unloading but I couldn't have the hard
drive detected.
