SATA test on SATA-VIA partial success.
I booted with netboot images from here:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/
- The 2.4 images didnt recognized the two serial ata discs until i manually
"modprobe sata_sis" and retried, then the installation went fine on /dev/sdb1
(opposed to /dev/hdb in my current working 2.6 unstable installation).
- The 2.6 image required me to change ramdisk_size=8192 from grub pxe boot
entry. I've tried ramdisk_size=16384 and worked.
- The 2.6 image hung (hanged?) on ide detecting: (translated from italian)
"84% loading module 'ide-disk' for 'Linux ATA DISK'", changing console I saw
with ps -ax the process "modprobe -v ide_disk" as dead. I Didn't tried other
ways yet.
