I'm trying to compile a custom boot-cd to make the 9.0 installation work with my i875P chipset and ICH5 S-ATA controller. Since this hardware setup requieres an -ac patches kernel with S-ATA support
Hmmm. Haven't got my 9.0 yet but will soon. I managed to get 8.2 to boot on this chipset & disk using a 2.4.21 Mantel kernel, so I'm surprised that the 2.4.21 on 9.0 doesn't support it. What symptoms are you seeing?
I need to find a way to patch the original 9.0 install-cd to use my custom kernel to boot.
Another alternative is to put the BIOS in [SATA] Legacy mode to install, then swap kernels and set the BIOS to Enhanced (check the archive for some more detail). Cheers, Dave
