I would like to thanks all the conceils people. If do you want another information i can send you. Saludos Fernando ------ I tried to do that but nothing changed.. I mean when installing with 2.6 and once the hdd isn't detected, i go to the shell execute option of the installer, and modporbe ide-disk... I even loaded all modules related to SATA disks existing in /lib/modules/kernel/2.6.X/scsi/sata-xx (from the cd). After that i returned to the installer and partition task didn't detect hdd... As I've said, i put the 2.4.x i386 one and then I made apt-get install kernel-image2.6.8...i686 but when booting on the last one I have Kernel Panic (I changed in the menu.list /dev/hdax to /dev/sdax and had the same problem)... ______________________________________________ Renovamos el Correo Yahoo!: ˇ250 MB GRATIS!
