There is a good thread on the debian-amd64 list about this. To plagerize: the sata chipset needs to be supported by the kernel you have. Even when a module exists sometimes the installer/discovery process fails. During the install you can change to another VT and 'modprobe <module>', then back to the partitioner, if you know the sata chipset and the module it uses and it is in the kernel you are using. -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
