I'm attempting to install debian for the first time using debian-installer, and I've run into some problems with my serial ata drive setup.
I have an abit motherboard with the intel i865pe chipset, onboard serial ata chip. My cd drive is a Lite-on 52x burner. My only hard drive is a 80GB maxtor serial ata drive. I'm trying to install the 2.6 kernel, other than that I just choose default options. During installation, the installer fails when trying to mount the cdrom drive. Neither the cdrom drive nor the hard drive show up underneath /dev. If I disable the serial ata in the bios, the cd drive is then detected just fine, but of course the hard drive is no longer found since it is disabled. It looks like Ubuntu does the same thing for me, it appears they use the same installer. Right now I'm running fedora core 2, and that installation didn't have any problems. I've looked around google and browsed the recent archives for the mailing list, but haven't come up with anything helpful thus far. Any tips / suggestions for me?
