Bug#220198: acknowledged by developer (fixed)

2004-03-23 Thread Oliver Heinz
Bug is fixed indeed, but beta3 treats s-ata as ide, which makes 
upgrading to kernel 2.6 (unnecessarily) harder. 2.6 recognizes sata as 
scsi-device. Same does the libata-patch for 2.4, which I mentioned in 
the original bug report. Other things like raid-configurations are also 
affected.

Should I file a new bug report against installer or should 
kernel-image-2.6 take care for the correct conversion from ide to 
pseudo-scsi (and the bug filed against kernel-image). It should be 
easier to handle this problem in the installer-kernel, I guess. Are 
there any good reasons that it's ide not scsi (libata)?

Bye,
Oliver

Bug#220198: installation: proper sata support needed

2003-11-11 Thread Oliver Heinz
Package: installation
Version: sarge beta
Severity: normal

Current Install Kernels do not include proper Serial-ATA Support.
I believe that several install problems with SATA-Devices could be solved when 
install-kernels included the libata-patch

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/jgarzik/libata/

which is also included in 2.6 series kernels. SATA-Devices are treated as SCSI-Devices.

Drive mapping issues with ich5 should be solved with this patch and it supports 
hardware which is quite common nowadays (promise 
37x), that is not (yet) supported by vanilla 2.4.22 kernel.

May those day's when i had to debootstrap new systems because of lacking 
kernel-support for thy new hardware be over soon ;-)

Bye,
O.H1
