I'm installing on a Dell (Optiplex GX270) so I decided to install with Scott Kveton's Dell Debian Install disk instead (from http://wiki.osuosl.org/display/LNX/Debian+on+Dell+Servers) which has the libata compiled in with the 2.4.25 kernel, thus the SATA is /dev/sda. So the upgrade to kernel 2.6.6 did not present any problem. I put some rough notes on http://survivor.sarovar.org/Dell_Optiplex.html. Haven't had any response regarding migrating from /dev/hda to /dev/sda for the SATA. Regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
