Hi all!
I bought a new computer with the following components:
Intel Desktop Board DG965WH
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 GHz (6600)
ASUS DVD Recorder/DVD optical drive
etc
I am trying to install Debian Etch but the installer does not recognize the DVD
ROM drive and offers the opportunity to add a driver from floppy. I have not
been able to find the right thing. From a search in Google, I would imagine
that the problem is the SATA controller controller of the Intel board, which
has three modes of operation:
* IDE mode - no AHCI, no RAID
* SATA mode (sometimes called AHCI mode) - AHCI enabled, no RAID
* RAID mode - AHCI enabled, RAID enabled
I have tried all three modes with no success. I am a bit surprise because I
bought this particular combination because, among other things, of reports in
the internet that the board worked more or less out of the box with linux...
I would appreciate any ideas on where to look for solutions.
Hi Peter,
That's a bummer. I have no solution other than trying different hw. Do
you have another spare CD drive that you can try with that board?
That would not get you very far though, because the hdd is not
recognized either?
What does Knoppix offer? Does that boot?
