Comments/Problems:
I installed rc1 using the businesscard iso. Booted expert26.
You guys made an impressive work but there are still some problems:
- Most important, my root device is a SATA disk. Although the installer correctly loads the module and partition the disk, when rebooting after base installed, the boot sequence crashes, because it is unable to find a root partition. I guess this is because the sata_promise kernel module isn't compiled in the kernel but rather as a loadable module and thus the kernel needs to mount / to load the module and to load the module it needs to mount / first. The same chicken/egg problem that happens with loadable scsi modules.
Do you have any fix for this ? Wouldn't it be better to have SATA support compiled in the kernel ?
How can I get my system to boot now ?
Now the less important stuff:
- I was unable to choose Belgian keyboard, the installer says that such a layout isn't available
- At the partition stage, I was unable to do the 'Manual Partitioning' clicking on that menu kept dropping me back at the previous menu. I tried partitioning from the console at Alt-F2 but never found out the device files. After digging around for a bit, I realized the devices files are now in /dev/ide. This is confusing and would probably need a help message: when booting the 2.4 installer image, my hard disk is at /dev/hde and when booting a 2.6 it is at /dev/ide/bus0/...
