Quoting Simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi There,
We are trying to install debian etch onto our Inspiron 530 that has a
SATA DVD drive, but the installer cannot detect the CD drive once it
is booted. How do i move forward here?
Sounds like etch doesn't have the drivers for your sata controller.
er... or should I say the kernel doesn't have the drivers.
The default kernel for etch is 2.6.18, try using a lenny(testing) or
sid(unstable) installer with a more recent kernel. 2.6.22 or higher
kernel will probably find your sata controller.
