I went to
http://debian.inode.at/debian-amd64/debian-installer/2005-04-24/monolithic
and took the mini.iso. I went through the installation to the point where "No
partitionable media were found", did 'modprobe sata_sis' from console 2.
After that sata_sis and libata were loaded, but the error still remains.
uname -a says: Linux debian 2.6.8-10-amd64-generic #1 Fri Jan 28 04:09:34 CET
2005 x86_64 unkonwn.
Are there any ideas? Thanks.
