lee, i didn't take a look at syslog. dmesg showed they were there. What i ended doing, was play with the hotplug option for each disk on the bios, and it worked. I have the system running, but i'm now trying to learn what that option means . I don't think it's a real hotplug thing, as changing drives without shutting down the computer. Actually got it working setting two of the drives with hotplug on and one off . BTW it's a core i 2400 not 2500 . Regards Pablo Sánchez.

The machine has 3 Samsung 1TB disks , that i see on the bios config, connected to sata 3gb ports . After inserting an usb stick with realtek firmware-realtek 0.28, config the network, I'm stuck on Scanning disk on starting up the partitioner on 50 % progress : it's stalled .Do you see any messages about the disks in the syslog?
