Thanks. This was exactly what I did the other day when I finally got
Sarge installed. I did have to manually modprobe sata_uli from console
2 as you mention, but that was no big deal. I finally found the
installer by doing a google for "debian-install uli 5289" instead of
"debian-installer uli m1689".
Also, for those that might google this in the future, my IDE solution
failed. As with the only other SATA mobo I've played with, this mobo
does not like to boot off any kind of hdd when there is both a SATA hdd
and IDE hdd connected. It will however boot off a hdd when there is an
IDE cdrom attached. Yet the BIOS reports the two IDE channels as 0 & 1,
and the SATA as being channel 2. Whatever. The amd64 installer linked
above worked perfectly.
Thanks again,
Jacob
