John, Our default kernel at Stratus doesn't work on our SATA-based hardware either. I think that the kernel has to be built with SATA support enabled, but I'm not actually sure. Your question might be better answered on the kernel mail list, as I don't think it's actually an installation issue. (I could be totally wrong though! :) ) -- Charlie -----Original Message----- From: John [mailto:j_and_d@telkomsa.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 12, 2005 1:09 PM To: suse-autoinstall@suse.com Subject: [suse-autoinstall] What Linux to use?
