sata support in installer
Hello, I'm researching sata support. Thinking about buying a new system
and going all SATA. The only docs I've seen on SATA support are in new
(2.4.21 and 2.6.0) kernels. Additionally, the links I've seen seem to
indicate that people are installing debian on an EIDE drive, then
upgrading the kernel, then using their SATA devices (see
http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Linux/SATA.html).
Is the simplest solution for this to use a live cd like
http://www.e-aiyama.com/~toshi/Computer/Linux/LiveCD.html? Are there
debian installers that support SATA? Anyone have any
advice/recomendations on brands of motherboards (asus prefered, but not
required)?
