Didn't get far, the list of modules the installer offers here too is
all for IDE chipsets.
I googled around and some suggest that turn off the sata from bios,
but sadly that's not possible on my bios.
You are using the sarge d-i rc2 installer?
From memor: I setup a couple of servers with software RAID on SATA
drives in Decmber. 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 ?
