Comments/Problems:
The install fails on detection of the sata driver, it tries to load the sata_nv module but fails. I have tried other installations of linux all with the 2.6 kernel (Mandrake 10.1, Slackware 10.1) all fail with the detection of the sata.
I have managed to load the woody version but it cannot use the drive correctly.
I have also tried the AMD-64 build from http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/install-images/
I've also tried to load Knoppix as well but this has failed with the same issues.
I'm more than happy to help try to solve this although I'm a linux newbie, my experiences with unix ended about 15 years ago at university.
Cheers Adrian
