Ehm what? I use the 2.4.27 and my AsusTek A7V600-X has a VIA SATA controler and it works perfectly...

Has the Sata problem been fixed yet? - END OF REPLIED MESSAGE - I have tried my eigth SATA 750 GByte drives on over 20 different Mainboards but it seems, they do not doek on those controlers. Even my 3Ware 3w9500 four channel had problems which went solved after upgrading the Firmware. Now, the 3Ware controlers (3w9xxx) should handel the 1 TByte drives too which I have ordered for 2 or 3 weeks.

It seems to depend on the kernel version used and the revision of the SATA chipset. I have a machine at home with a VIA SATA controller about two years old - Etch and other distros find it without any trouble. We have more recent Pentium machines at work also with a VIA chip, newer revision - Etch does not recognize it, neither do Ubuntu, Knoppix, Centos 4. Fedora 6 and SuSE work. I guess there is no general solution, just trial and error. Best regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

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".

There are a few remaining bugs (delaying release as 'stable'), but it contains more recent hardware support and features security support as well. You could also try a backported kernel with debian sarge 3.1. Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
