Gday,
I've downloaded and attempted to install debian from the debian-31r0a-
amd64-netinst.iso image. Everything is fine up until the point where my
SATA device is not detected. Fedora and ubuntu detect it, and they also
seem to have additional modules available, so I copied those over and
loaded them with no errors, however that made no difference, I still
cant see /dev/sda, fdisk -l comes back with zilch.
While trying to detect the hardware I also get this message which
supports the available list of modules...
The unavailable modules and devices that need them are: ide-mod, ide-
probe-mod, ide-detect etc
I can quite happily compile a kernel that does support all the devices
on this box, but what would the next step be? Surely there is an easier
solution?
