I booted into the installer with "expert26" and that gave all sorts of options of packages to run during the install and support for SATA and RAID were in there.
Yep, I have tried both, sarge netinstall (rc2) and the full images, both ended up similarily, no paartionable media.
I just tried it again with expert26, it suggests a heap load of modules it assumes necessary...(sorry the possible typos, couldn't copy/paste these..)
yenta_sockets, usb-storage. floppy, via82cxxx, trm290, triflex, slc90e66, sis5513, siimage, serverworks, sc1200, rz1000, piix, pdc202xx_old, opti621, ns87415, hpt34xx, generic, cy83c693, cs5530, cs5520, cmd64x, atiixp, and74xx, alim15x3, alim15x3, aec62xx, pdc202xx_new, ide-generic, ide-disk, ide-cd, isofs)
I allowed all, didn't know what parameters to pass to them though. under Knoppix lspci output is revealed that the SATA Controller is:0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04)
Any modules to load via the shell with modprobe possibly ? TIA, PETE
