debian on sata disks

[Schelstraete Bart <bart@schelstraete.org>]

Hello,

I tried to install Debian on sata disks. With the 'normal' 2.4.8 kernel,
this works, but it was giving disk kernel errors.
When I then upgrade the kernel to the latest 2.4 series (2.4.7-2-686),
the machine doesn't boot anymore and is giving the error message:

--
pivot_root: No such file or directory
--

Same problem with the 2.6 kernel.
I added the normal sata driver to the /etc/mkinitrd/modules file, remade
the init image, but same results.

I'm using an Intel (6) sata disk. (not supported yet?) Is there somebody
who can help me with this? (on a 'compaq/hp' machine)



Bart
