Yes. Installing ETCH with linux-image-2.6.18-fai-kernels_1_i386.deb works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> lspci | grep VT6420 00:0f.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

That would be sata_via, I guess: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> dmesg| grep sata_via sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: version 2.1 sata_via 0000:00:0f.0: routed to hard irq line 11 scsi0 : sata_via But you are right, it seems to be missing in linux-image-2.6.20-fai-kernels_1_i386.deb from testing: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:..fai/kernel> dpkg -x linux-image-2.6.20-fai-kernels_1_i386.deb .

To me it looks like you can't install with linux-image-2.6.20-fai-kernels on any SATA-drive :) I'd suggest you try 2.6.18 from stable.
