Dear all, I just wanted to post to you an information about how I managed to install debian/testing (netinstall) with 2.6.12 kernel, without recompiling it.
The problem: I have a sata disk (ibm thinkpad R52). If you follow the normal installation, it will not work because the disk or the cd drive will not be recognized. Solution in short: load your ide* modules before the ata_piix module, by using an initrd Solution details: - boot in expert mode for installation - disable the ata_piix module, this will allow you to have your cd driver recognized - after some menus, debian installer will ask you again if ata_piix module must be enabled. Say yes this time. Your sata disk is now working. - finish the installation and reboot - now your cd drive is not working - change your /etc/mkinitrd/modules files (put there the ide* modules necessary for your cd drive) - run mkinitrd command to rebuild your initrd - remove the ide* modules from /etc/modules - reboot, now both cd and disk are ok.
