Help w/failed Sarge install - Dell 8400+SATA
Hi all,
Trying to install Sarge to Dell 8400 w/internal SATA
from jigdo'd i386 DVD. Kernel 2.4 fails to see SATA
internal HDD entirely (CD access OK). With kernel 2.6
using expert26 I can wait to load ata_piix driver
until after CD is accessed, but STILL does not see
SATA drive, only external USB 2.0 IDE HDD.
Web and google searches led me to believe this problem
was resolved in current 2.6 kernels, is there still a
problem? If so, is there any workaround? (Other than
changing BIOS to compatibility mode, I do NOT want to
go there, still need WinXP partition on SATA to work
for other family use.)
Yes, I filed a failed install report to
submit@bugs.debian.org. Also reported complete
failure with 2.4 kernel (neither SATA nor USB drives
detected).
TIA for any help or info you can provide.
Peter
