I wish I remembered how I managed to install 9.2RC1 to my 80gb Seagate SATA drive - because on the install now it appears that it isn't going to work. It fails when it comes to re-formatting or partitioning the drive. On the first stage install, it mentions that that hard drive is "losing the interrupt" frequently as it works it's way through. It's set up in BASE mode as opposed to RAID mode. It's an SI chip, a 3112 I think. It is possible that it was originally in RAID mode (although not actually in an array) when I set it up the first time. I'll go back and set it up that way again if the current install fails, as I expect it to.
This is frustrating - and something important that needs to be fixed, what with SATA supposedly the future of user level hard drives.
