That depends which images you're talking about. The sid_d-i images typically have a version one day behind what's in the archive. The sarge_d-i images can be arbitrarily out of date. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

When I tried using the 6/21 daily build to install to a machine with a Promise TX4 SATA card (only supported by libata), the disks were not automatically detected. To get d_i to see the partitions, I had to modprobe the SATA driver prior to entering the partition disks menu choice. It might also work if you manually install both the SATA driver and the required SCSI modules (ie: modprobe at least sata_sil *AND* sd_mod for SCSI disk support).

If you're using the sata_sil module, you'll also need libata and scsi_mod (which should get loaded automatically if you modprobe sata_sil), but you won't see any partitions (or be able to access the disks at all) until you also load sd_mod. Remember, libata makes new sata drives look like scsi disks, so they'll show up as /dev/sdX, not /dev/hdX. -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First of all, please mention the exact version of Debian Installer you tested. beta4, tc1 or one of the daily builds. If daily builds, which one. Then please post the output of "lspci -n" and "lspci -v". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
