SATA. I haven´t instaled debian yet. Debian instalating program can´t
detedt my disk. where can I get module for my SATA or how can I use
newer kernel for instalation or what can I do?
Thanks.
The daily builds have seen my on-board Silicon Image 3112 (I've got an
A7N8X-Delux), but you might still run into problems. Depending on your
drives, there may be problems with the siimage driver (Seagate drives
are apparently the ones to avoid). I think all the problems have been
worked out, but you'd need the latest patches from the lkml or linux-ide
list. With the most recent posted just a few days ago, you'll probably
have to build your own kernel:
I don't even get that far. After manually loading sata_sil (using
expert26) the Partition Disks menu still does not show any disks.
lspci says:
0000:01:07.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. (formerly CMD Technology Inc) Silicon Image Serial ATARaid Controller [ CMD/Sil 3512 ] (rev 01)
0000:01:07:0 Class 0104: 1095:3512 (rev 01)
And /proc/scsi/sata_sil/0 says, that there is no support for
/proc yet.
Am I missing another module?
BTW, the disk is a Samsung SP1614C.
Any idea?
