retitle 287533 thanks I made some further tests and also had some email exchange with Promise support and I got finally a clue about the problem: sd_mod need to be loaded before sata_sx. This is a know problem even for the original driver (shipped only for redhat and suse.)
So the solution might be to include in /etc/modprobe.conf something like: install sata_sx "/sbin/modprobe sd_mod; /sbin/modprobe ââignoreâinstall sata_sx" or in /etc/modules.conf, this similar command: pre-install sata_sx modprobe sd_mod This change should of course be done even on the /target file system. Does anyonw know if this is possible using the modprobe command included in d-i (is it from busybox?) Thanks, Giuseppe
