I have an ASUS K8V SE DELUXE...gave up the ide
drives and boot from the SATA drives on the VIA chip VT8237. The
120 G Seagate Baracuda's are striped. I tryed installing WIN XP
64 bit just to see if i'd work but the the drivers on the mobo disk (i put
'em on floppy) are'nt compatible, so I assume the same will hold true for
Debians installer, Although I did have Free BSD on the Promise raid controller
with same drives and 2 other IDE drives and the BIOS set to the raid
configurement, BSD "saw" everything Windows couldn't, but that was
many reformats ago. Will Debian "see" the SATA drives or do I gotta
install to an IDE drive and then install the drivers for the SATA"s? Now I read
of the onboard Marvel Gigalan miniport adapter not workin with Debian.....any
suggestions.....I can't do much without a GUI and this stuff sounds
complicated! ....James.....
