Re: SATA install - AMD64 - success story

This image works, and I did a successful install with AHCI.
I had to manually call insmod on libata.ko and ahci.ko,
depmod did not work.
Now that I have a working AHCI system, I cans ee what changes
in the lscpi results when I switch the BIOS settings between
AHCI and IDE compatibility mode. Here's the scoop:
0000:00:1f.2 0101: 8086:27c0 (rev 01) --> Requires ata_piix module
0000:00:1f.2 0106: 8086:27c1 (rev 01) --> Requires ahci module

Yes. And I guess I do have a Marvell Yukon ethernet which seems to work.
0000:01:05.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon \
Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter (rev 13)

I tried the AMD64 installer dated July 21. Doesn't work - there's
a problem right away with isolinux with an error message about
not finding kernel linux.
Ok. so this covers my needs for now. Hope some of this chatter was
helpful.
