Try to put the kernel module into the file
/class/20-hwdetect.source. For me it's the sata_nv module as
I'm using a NVIDIA chipset board.

kernelmodules="rtc floppy usbkbd ide-disk ide-cd sata_nv"

You can try to load it by hand, to see if the kernel module recognizes
your hardware.

There are also 2.6.8 and a 2.6.10 kernels for amd64 with sata support at
the download/amd64 section of the fai web page.

The default 2.6.8 kernel from fai-kernels package provides sata
support, but you may have to load the kernel module if discover does
not detect it (have a look at /fai/class/20hwdetect.source). There's
also a 2.6.11 kernel at the download section of the fai web page which
includes sata support.

These are only i386 kernels.

Ok. I actually have tried to use this kernel.

What I have is the vmlinuz-2.6.10-fai and System.map-2.6.10-fai files for 
booting,
as well as the /lib/modules/2.6.10-fai  copied to the nfsroot/.

It still cannot find the SATA drive, and I believe it is because it is not 
loading the
kernel module.

Take the latest AMD64 kernel on
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/download/amd64/ 
I think it's a 2.6.10 kernel with correct working SATA support.

Hope this helps

SATA support in install kernel for AMD64?

2005-09-08 Thread Allan Bailey 

Does anyone have an install kernel for 2.6.x that supports SATA drives?

Or can someone point me to the sources/configs for building my own?

thanks,
