In an old laptop, I need to boot an external hard drive that the BIOS does not recognize. A different computer is giving errors, while booting a SATA hard drive. I was told that "the proper modules are not being used in the initrd", but I have no idea how to fix that. I guess a live CD would be useful, but how do I get the live CD to boot the hard drive? Also, should it have the same architecture (I386/AMD64), release (Etch/Lenny), and Linux kernel version, as the hard drive? -- Masatran, R.
