HD Install :: SATA install

I shall try 2.x version then. Hopefully I can get my box up and running.

Well, seems like 2.0, 2.1, and 2.1b do not work. I did try FreeBSD 6.1 x386 does install. At least I now have a small and secure OS. I just wish it was as small as DSL. Maybe one day SATA will be supported, and I look forward to that day.

Well, FreeBSD did not work either. Gparted did not see the drive. It's late, I suppose I should get some sleep.

Well perhaps your sata chipset wasn't detected... in that case you may have to load some extra modules.

If you boot off the livecd you can check system tools/logs for more info.

Ok, so Ubuntu 6.06 sees the drive, but I cannot create any partitions. It is seen as /dev/sda. I know Linux distros usually do see SATA drives as SCSI. What I will try is to put my drive in another machine that I installed my raptor in. The Asus A8N5X should see it. I will keep you posted.
