Can you boot debian-installer and manually load the module with:
modprobe sata_promise
Does debian-installer then see your disk?
d-i 30.05.2004 netinstall.
yes, I can 'modprobe sata_promise' in console 2 (alt-F2). debian-installer sees the sata disk as /dev/sda.
Initially I had problems to install on this disk. # configuring 'base-installer' failed with error code 1 last line in console 3 (alt-F3) was setting up initrd-tools(0.1.69)
I got this error 3 times, reproducibly.
I switched the BIOS setting of the sata-controller 'onbord ATA device first' from "yes" to "no"
Then I entered the Promise Fast-Track setup during boot (ctrl-F) and deleted the sata array and created a new one (0+1 striping array - I have only one sata disk).
Now it works. I switched 'onboard ATA device first' back from "no" to "yes" because I didn't see any changes. It still works.
Maybe the Fast-track setup was the key ?!
I tried the following configurations and successfully installed Debian-base
----------------- dev/sda1 / ----------------- /dev/hda1 swap /dev/hda2 /boot /dev/hda3 /tmp /dev/hda4 /var
/dev/hdb1 /home
/dev/sda1 / ----------------- /dev/hda1 /usr
/dev/hdb1 /home
/dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda2 / ----------------- I tried ext2, ext3, reiserfs.
Is there anything special I should test concerning SATA? Otherwise I would put back the SATA disk into my P4P800.
If you need feedback, I could test sata in the P4P800 too. Which module should I load for the ICH5R ? The debain-installer does not see the sata disk automatically.
=====================================
From my scan through newsgroups etc. I got the impression
that sata uses ide commands rather than scsi commands, with some scsi-like extensions to the ide set, which are going to be implemented but are not yet fully supported by sata controllers.
Consequently, I suppose that /dev/sda needs a scsi->ide translation and /dev/hde should be the better choice.
- Am I completely wrong here? - How would I address the sata disk (connected to a ICH5R) as /dev/hde?
=====================================
Can you paste the output of lspci lspci -n
Don't know if you still need the lspci from the P4PE.
Anyway, here it is.
btw: there is no lspci in the busybox.
This is the output from the installed debain.
