Installation on SATA drive

[Chetan Thapliyal <chetanthapliyal@gmail.com>]

 Hi list

I have downloaded the latest debian64 image 
(debian-31r0a-ia64-binary-1.iso) from debian.org. I burnt the image and 
try to install but system didn't autoboot through CD-ROM. I also tried 
|hd-media/initrd.gz|, |hd-media/vmlinuz images to boot directly from 
hard disk. Installation started, but halted with failure in detecting 
the hard drive. Please configuration of my system as given below:

Processor: AMD Athlon64 3000+
Motherboard: MSI RS480M2-IL Motherboard
Hard drive: Segate 80 GB SATA
Memory: 512 MB DDR 400 Mhz

I have googled around and have also gone through the debain mailing 
list, but couldn't find the exact solution. I would be highly grateful 
for any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.


With regards

Chetan
