Re: Ant: Re: Ant: detecting SATA2
The stock BIOS on the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 sucks. The PXE option, at
the very least, fails approx. 60% of the time, with no rhyme or
reason. There is a newer bios available on the website, v1.2. Stock
is v1.1. Once I manage to get the system to boot, however, everything
seems to work fine.
I stuck with BIOS v1.1, and installed to an SATA drive (Seagate) and I
never had the problems you are describing. I used the daily installer
from amd64.debian.net/debian-installer on 9/21.
