Comments/Problems:
The reason I used the Etch Netinst CD image was because the stable release doesn’t come with support for the Serial ATA controller, which is an Adaptec 8138. The partitioner starts up and runs in a wink of an eye to 41% and then hangs. It comes to an end but it takes approx. 20 min. to complete.
The next step is to partition the HD’s. I can create a part. Table and get to the point where the installer asks to write the partition table to disk. It begins to create a /boot mountpoint but it never finishes.
I really hope you can help me with this issue. I know that up to now only Linux 2 distr. Supports the disk controller but I want debian on it, not suse.
Sincerely
Peet van der Meer
