Hello.
I'm trying to install Debian Etch, which I got from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-dvd/ (the DVD
ISos were dated 5th june).
While installing, I choosed the expert mode, and followed the steps..
When I came to the step where it asks me about the "Partition method",
It only shows one option, "Manually edit partition table". This step
looks this: http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/658/11.gif , except it
only got the last option.
Then I proceeded (to the only available option).. Well, that step does
not list any of my hard drives, the step is like this:
http://shots.osdir.com/slideshows/658/13.gif , but it only shows the
four first options and the two last.. (so everything except the devices).
What I want to do, is to install on an already existing partition.. But
I'm stuck, I can't seem to find how to get Debian Installer to get along
with my SATA drives.
And also, I went to the console by using ALT+F2, tried to mount my
partition typing mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1, and it worked fine. So it's
supported by the kernel, but it seems Debian Installer just refuses to
find them..
For the record, I found a FAQ (located here:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/FAQ#head-a5623cd5a3ec3d8d6a1eef09e3e4c00f911f8b18),
that says SATA is supported in Etch, so I find this weird.
Thanks,
Thomas Martinsen
