This option does require 2.6.15 (or maybe 2.6.14) based installer. 2.6.12 won't do. > Then Googled a bit trying to find an example of the required syntax, and > tried this: > install libata.atapi_enabled=1 > ... didn't work; same problem. > > However, while surfing around I came across some comments that seem to > indicate that this boot parameter only works for kernels 2.6.13 and > above, and I'm assuming that the Etch installer uses a 2.6.12 kernel by > default.

Etch probably doesn't yet. Personally I had to use 2.4 kernel to install, then install a new custom built kernel with the SATA ATAPI code enabled by editing the header file in the kernel. That worked. I guess if I updated it now to 2.6.15 I could use the standard kernel finally. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
