Hello,
I need to install Debian Sarge on a Dell PE850 server with a SATA
disk. Sarge and Etch installers do not detect the disk, because ICH7
controller is not supported by those kernels, Sid however installs
without problems.
I have tried to boot with Sid kernel in expert mode and choose
"stable" version tree to install, but this method doesn't work :(
It's there anyway to install Sarge on this server? or a link
explaining howto modify Sarge netboot/ISO to change the kernel (*),
or perhaps someone has made a installer with a newer kernel..
I have also tried to change in the BIOS SATA access mode to "legacy"
to see SATA disks as PATA, but I think this option is not supported
by Dell BIOS, I am confused?
Regards,
(*) I have found this link at http://linux.dell.com but doesn't
work..http://www.net.oregonstate.edu/~kveton/debian
