Architecture: i386 (i686)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-386

I'm trying to install Debian Sarge on a machine with the following
hardware:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz with HT technology
Front Bus: 800MHz
Memory Bus: 400MHz
System Memory: 2 x 256MB DDR400

       Serial ATA RAID Controller: Promise Technology
           SATA150TX4 4-Port Serial ATA RAID controller (PDC20319)
           configurable to RAID level 0, 1, or 10

I'm using "sarge-i386-netinst.iso" downloaded the 15 december 2004.
I have tryed almost all posibilities on boot command prompt, linux,
expert, linux26 and expert26. All with the same result, I can install
but even GRUB or LILO can't boot the system after reboot.
GRUB says,
GRUB Loading stage1.5.

GRUB loading, please wait...

and stays there;

and LILO says,
LI 99 99 99 99 99 99 ...
Since in the installation process with expert or expert26 I get the following message while 
detecting hardware.

*******************************************************************
Unable to load some modules

Linux kernel modules needed to drive some of your hardware are not
available yet. Simply proceeding with the install may make these modules
available later.

The unavailable modules, and the devices that need them are:
i810-tco (Intel corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Bridge),
ide-scsi (Linux IDE-SCSI emulation layer), ide-mod (Linux ide driver),
ide-probe-mod (Linux ide probe driver), ide-detect (Linux ide
detection), ide floppy (linux ide floppy).
*******************************************************************

The message of debian-installer while installing GRUB is:
"Installing GRUB on (hd0)..."

With a previous version of debian installer I was uanble to see the
disks.

I wish that this information would be useful.
Thanks

Hello,

Previous update to this bugreport was in december 2004.
(see http://bugs.debian.org/285981 complete overview)

It was before the release of Debian 3.1, codenamed Sarge.
Meanwhile we are preparing for the release named Etch.

Newer versions have good Serial ATA support.
I'm closing the BR.

Cheers
Geert Stappers
