You have new hardware (SATA disks) but you use old software (Woody CD) The trick is to use recent software you find it at http://www.nl.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ You will probaly also need to type 'linux26' before you continue, but that is explained in the F1-keys screen after CD-ROM boot. > Chris Rothwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) With some luck you understand it, that means that you got this message because I expect that you are on the mailinglist that you ask.
