As far as I know SATA support wasn't included in the Kernel until after Sarge became stable, so it was never included in Sarge's repositories. If you're trying to install Debian on a SATA disk your best bet is Etch, installing Sarge would be way too much trouble (You'd probably have to do a lot of work), and in a few months it will become old stable anyway (With Etch being the new stable). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
