You could try the unofficial sarge installer with backported kernel http://kmuto.jp/b.cgi/debian/d-i-2615.htm or you can install on a supported disk IDE install a more recent kernel and move your install to your SATA drives. or you can boot a livecd like knoppix with a recent kernel that works. and do a debootstrap and chroot install onto your sata drives, making sure you install a recent kernel. one of the best things abuot debian is the multitude of install posibilities. it's more a problem to choose one then to find one. with regards Ronny Aasen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
