I started on my ESX (3.5i) platform, but that installs on SCSI drives and I assume that these are not configured in the 9atom.iso image.
So I tried my fanciest (newest) motherboard, with a 500GB SATA drive. Booting off USB suggests that the SATA controller is not recognised. The PCI identification is Vendor 8086 (Intel) and, for some reason I can't fathom, device 27df or 27c0. The latter seems to require IRQ 11 (I only glimpsed at that). Well, I guess I'll need to give 9 Atom a miss for a while. I could rebuild it on the Bell Labs distributions I use, but I suspect that there will be many gotchas to overcome. I'll gladly provide more info, if anyone feels like giving me some advice. Lucio. PS: It's tempting to shove the drive in an external USB cabinet and configure it that way. Anyone who may know better must shout now :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email has been scanned by the MxScan Email Security System. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
