Problem with sata raid controler on debain installation

[oudaim]

Hi

I tried to install debian on Intel D925XECV2 mother bord with Intel 82801FR SATA raid controler and 2 hard disks. I disabled The Raid drive in the bios and I delete Raid 1 whith raid utilities.

The first time, I started with DebianInstaller CD on default mode, On "partition disk" step, the background became red ant this error message apears "No partitionable media were found".

The second time, I started with DebianInstaller CD on "linux26" mode, On "Detect and mount cd-rom" step, The cd-rom drive wasn't detected. I found in Debain Errata that the sata controler is blocking access the cd drive.

The third time, I startet with DebianInstaller CD on "Expert26" mode, On "Detect and mount cd-rom" step, I unselect sata driver (ata_piix). Then, cd-rom drive was detected and installtion continued but On "partition disk" step, the background became red ant this error message appeared "No partitionable media were found".

If DebianInstaller doesn't include a driver for my INTEL 82801fr sata raid controller, how can I include it.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Regards

Afaik, you unloaded the sata driver to get your cdrom working, so it doesn't seem far fetched that you'll have to reload it to see the hd javascript:emoticon(':oops:')
In case this isn't enough, a bit of google turned up someone who rebuilt the installer with a 2.6.11 kernel and seem to suffer from the same type of issues: http://blog.blackdown.de/2005/06/26/deb ... rnel-2611/
(note that 2.6.12 is now in unstable but kernel-image-* is now linux-kernel-*)
