some minutes ago i have successfull installed debian on my sata-hdd-system.
the solution was attaching a jumper at the back of the hdd (the samsung
manual talks about a "speed limit jumper"). after this jumper has been
placed, the hdd is not listed (as ide) in the bios anymore - i guess that's
the "compatible mode" which i have deactivated this way.
at the debian installer (no matter if "linux" or "expert"), i manually have
to load the ahci and sata_uli modules, before i can continue installation.
but fixing this problem ends up in another one occuring: after the
installation has finished (i.e. after the FIRST reboot), the system does not
boot anymore. here i have two "options":
1) leave the jumper (mentioned above) attached at the hdd: not even grub
starts up and the computer complains about not system found
2) i remove the jumper (hdd appears again in the bios as "ide"), grub starts
up and loads the kernel. BUT: i get a kernel panic when the kernel tries to
load the sata modules:
"not syncing - attempting to kill init".
has anyone some ideas?
