Comments/Problems:
However my harddrive can't be partitioned and so i can't install.
I have checked that my s-ata hardware is supported (silicon image) and the modules are loaded "libata" and "sata_sil".
(I even tried to manually load the modules again: "insmod libata and modprobe libata..." But not found) I guess it isn't supposed to be found eighter.
So the partitioner doesn't find any hd:s to partition(not using automatic partitioning).
And after it ask wether to contingue or go back neighter one work(Get a screen with with the blinking line)
Another thing if I let the system load USB storage support module it hangs on 2%.(But i've allready read about the usb problems)
<Didn't Work too good for mee :) Hopefully some help soon(my friend a guru is trying to help too but his suggestions haven't helped...)>
