To be honest, I've never had to do this on Debian, but I've had to make other changes during install - at some point when Sarge was still "Testing" the installer tried to add ftp apt sources before setting up network, and hung as a result. Basically what I did was press Alt+F2/F3/ect until I get a working console, do what I need to, and then switch back to the installer. Another poster mentioned using the 2.4 kernel - you might have to do that and then roll your own 2.6 kernel (you might have to fix your fstab because the device names will probably change).

SARGE installer can't detect the h/d. If I recall, the Inspiron 6000 uses a SATA drive which the 2.6.8 kernel on the Sarge installer has trouble with. However, I have been able to get the 2.4 kernel in the installer to see some SATA drives. Which kernel are you using to install with? I think you will need to do a standard install with the 2.4 kernel and then build a custom 2.6.12 kernel. This isn't so bad, since you would need to build a newer 2.6 kernel to get ACPI and WiFi working anyway. -- Bill Thompson [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgplcIGr6jZnz.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Hans, Thanks for the email. OK - will do. However, once I know what driver to install - how do I tell Sarge to try to install that driver during the installation process? Thanks, Jim.

DELL Inspiron 6000 Disk Detection Wierdness
Hi, Wonder if anyone can help. I've got a new DELL Inspiron 6000 that I'd like to install SARGE 3.1 on. SARGE installer can't detect the h/d. Partitioner during install says "nothing partitionable" or words to that effect. UBUNTU 5.04 can and detects it as: "SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - ATA HTS726060M9AT00" I'd rather install SARGE than UBUNTU - anyone know how I can tell SARGE installer to detect the h/d? Bit more info: - HTS726060M9AT00 [Hard drive] (60.01 GB) -- drive 0, s/n - Intel(R) 82801FBM Ultra ATA Storage Controllers - 2653 Can anyone help? Thanks, Jim.
