Re: Fw: Debian Sarge AMD64 and SATA
Alessandro Pluchino YES. Sarge has problems doing SATA installs. I had to put it on 30 Dell machines. In order to get to work I had to go into the CMOS/BIOS and change the HDD to Combination. Not sure what that means exactly there was very little explanation there. I suspect it makes it act less like a serial and more like a parallel IDE drive. Doing that let me install Sarge. There are a number of other schemes that will also work when something as simple as what I did does NOT work. Search on the netI expect others will offer solutions on this email list as well.

After you did that, what were the SATA drive(s) in /dev? Mine are detected before the SCSI, and are called sda and b. And a mildly OT question to the list: When does udev run? Is it early enough that a udev rule would get there before grub loads the kernel? -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

-- In order to get to work I had to go into the CMOS/BIOS and change the HDD to Combination. After you did that, what were the SATA drive(s) in /dev? The drive was id'd as hda not as a SCSI. I think I saw a scheme where you fool the system into thinking the SATA are SCSI to get them to work.
