Hi I have tried to install Debian on a SATA system. I can successfully boot over the network (using current unstable installer). It seems to discover the hardware as far as I can tell. However, partitioning the SATA harddrives does not work using the installer.
In the partitioning screen of the installer, I get the top four menu points like - RAID - LVM - guided partitioning - help for partitioning and the lower two - revert - end and write Between the two menu sections, a list of hard drives and partitions should appear (I guess). However, there is no such list. On the other hand, I was able to fdisk the two disk drives using $ fdisk /dev/sda On a subsequent try, the partitions are still on the drives and are correctly recognized by the kernel as sda1 etc. However, they still do not appear in the list of partitions. Is there some kind of trick I can do to proceed with the installation? Or do you need some more information? Btw, I am using a ASUS A8N-VM CSM mainboard with a nVidia MCP51 SATA controller. The harddrive is a SAMSUNG SP2004C (according to the boot message). Thanks in advance for any help.
