(see e.g. http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html "AHCI mode") > Does any one have an idea how to overcome this problem? my way was: start with knoppix >= 4.0 or grml >= 0.4 (these 2 worked fine...) and try a netinstall or use debootstrap (didn't work without problems, had to patch some scripts... :-(), then build and install another kernel with ahci (i use 2.6.13.1)... btw.: ahci has a very small bug: the hdd-led (or lcd?) lights permanently. i found a bugfix, but didn't bookmark :-( (google for e.g. ahci linux led hdd), bugfix was to remove 2 lines of code only! > Thanks > Michael good luck, mempfis -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Debian - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDsoZA5q5Aiw7UNlERAjMuAKCcHKSrisup1mGB3XWh6G/RiUX0LwCggQHc TaZ7AFoEYaCoOS50SmXxOL4= =2xjl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
