Bug#287533: Acknowledgement ([daily 20041227][i386] stop when loading sd_mod if Tekram SCSI board is present)
After some more tests I admit I was wrong: the problem is still there.
Summary: d-i does not correctly handle Promise FastTrak SATA SX4.
I removed all other PCI cards and I still cannot correctly install Sarge
since whenever sd_mod is loaded the computer freeze.
A second -- and different -- problem is about the SCSI controller I
already mentioned. It seems that it cannot correctly handle tape drives
like the HP DAT72i.
I then added an IDE drive to the internal PATA controller and installed
debian locally. When debian starts the module sata_sx is loaded but the
sd_mod isn't and the controller is correctly detected and all scsi0-3
chain are defined. Then, when I load sd_mod, the computer start giving
SCSI errors and then freeze.
I recompiled kernel 2.6.10 putting all SCSI and SATA stuff builtin (as
opposed to modules) and removed all IDE drivers. The new kernel boots
and recognize correctly all disks. The operating system then boot.
Bye,
Giuseppe
P.S. lspci is now available and attached.
