Please try loading that. If ata_piix is loaded automatically, then try removing it first with 'modprobe -r ata_piix'. > As you will see, the virtual machine is much more modern :-) Yes, but also more unpredictable because of the emulation layers. > > You could try a "daily built" businesscard or netinst > > image > > [1], just to see if that does detect the disks.

There was more than a week ago, but that was fixed. Please try a *daily* built *netinst or businesscard* *CD* image. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
