Hi, I'm preparing to install a brand new server which will be running Debian stable (sarge) when everything is said and done. The motherboard is however a pretty new model using an Intel ICH7R south bridge for which I don't believe there is support in the standard sarge install CD based on some other threads I've read. Basically I'm suspecting that the SATA attached disks are not going to appear and I since the system disk will be a SATA disk I wont be able to install sarge that way.
So what I was thinking about doing was to use the etch installer which has a 2.6.12 kernel in which I believe there is support for this SATA controller but then select to install the sarge distribution. Any ideas if this will work or not? I realize I will need to make sure I don't get the standard sarge kernel later on, but maybe I can select to use the kernel off the etch install CD? If not, I can always build a custom kernel later. My issue is rather running the installer in such a way that it will find the system disk off the SATA controller while installing sarge from scratch. Any other ideas on how to achieve this in most welcome. Netbooting is an option as well for example, would that help?
