I think that I need to use a 2.6.0 kernel. Is this right? How do > I create an installation CD with a different kernel?
Hi, I recently installed a debian on a SATA machine and I also had problems booting a installation the normal way. (Either debian and gentoo installation had problems detecting the drive). But I noticed the most recent knoppix cd whould boot and detect the hardware in a 'normal' fashion. So I'd suggest doing an install booted from a knoppix cd. hth Elie De Brauwer -- http://www.de-brauwer.be -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
