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.
I'm somwhat lost with this bug report as I'm not sure if I understand it correctly.
Me too. I reported Bug #238648 on [2004-03-18 08:17]: "could not install debian, because tg3 module did not load correctly." and got an email 9-1/2 weeks later:

So I tested the d-i 2004-05-30 image and found that 2.4 installs fine and 2.6 does not install because the tg3 and bcm5700 nic modules were not ported to 2.6 yet.
In addition, Martin Michlmayr asked me to test my sata configuration.
So I put a sata disk in my P4PE with onboard Promise 20376 sata controller.
Linux24 (d-i 2004-05-30) did not recognize my sata disk out of the box, but when I loaded the sata_promise module manually, I could install several combinations of ide/sata partitions.
Linux26 (d-i 2004-05-30) could not be tested due to the misson nic module.
This was my reply. However, it is not related to the original tg3-bug #238648. Bug #238648 has been closed by Martin Michlmayr on [31.05.2004 11:54]
# I'm closing this bug. 2.4 works and 2.6 does't work because currently # the module doesn't exist; this will be fixed in the near future. # -- # Martin Michlmayr # [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Maybe I should not have replied to Martin's request to the same thread but create a new bug report? Anyway.
Is it correct to add the moudle "sata_promise" for the device with PCI ID "8086:24cb" which is labeled " Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) Ultra ATA 100 Storage Controller (rev 02)"?
No. The sata_promise was added for the PCI device: 0000:02:04.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20376 (rev02)
I'm a little bit unsure because the device description does not mention SATA and the only reference to the sata_promise module in the current database is for a device with an other vendor ID. Martin or Markus do you have more information.
I have installed Debain on a Seagate Baracuda 7200.7 SATA on the Asus P4PE/Promise PDC20736 after manually loading sata_promise. It did not work in the first time, but after I created a RAID with this single disk in 'Promise Fast Track Setup' (Ctrl-F during boot), everything works fine.
(1) However, I did not exactly know what I was ask to do. # "if you could try our daily image and tell us whether this works." If I should try something more but installing debain, let me know.
(2) I was asked to test SATA on the Promise PDC20376 in my Asus P4PE.
I also have a Asus P4P800 deluxe with Intels 82801EB (ICH5R).
Therefore I asked, if I should test d-i on a sata-disk attached to the ICH5R.
Out of the box d-i does not recognize my sata.
Therefore I asked, which module I should load.
The BIOS configures the SATA disk as third IDE master.
If I should not test the sata disk attached to ICH5R - That's fine for me.
