Re: Asus P5K WS motherboard / Marvell IDE - CDrom not detected by installer

Hi Folks,
I'm using the latest debian-testing-amd64-businesscard installer on an
Asus P5K motherboard with an ICH9 Southbridge and Marvell 88SE61xx SATA /
PATA chipset. I'm using an HP dvd1040i CDrom drive for installation.
The installer boots fine but cannot find any cdrom device to use. When I
look at dmesg, I get the following output relating to the ide devices:
< snip dmesg/lspci info>
So it looks like my 2 hard drives are showing up just fine, but I'm fairly
clueless as to why the kernel (2.6.21-2-amd64) isn't finding the CDrom
drive.
I've verified that the Marvell IDE/eSATA controller is enabled in the BIOS
as well (hence the initial booting of the installer CD).
I'm hoping someone on the list can point me in the right direction; if
this isn't the appropriate list then please accept my apologies for the
noise.
Thanks in advance,
-Mike.
Are you able to put the sata controller into compatability mode? If you
are, you may want to try that out.
