I have no direct experience, but reciently read an article that said serial ATA looks the same as IDE, its all done in the hardware. So no special support should be needed.I'm trying to install stable on a system with an Asus A7V600 motherboard, which supports serial ATA with a VIA VT8237 chipset. I've googled around for installation information on serial ATA support generally, and not found much that's on point. I'm not sure if serial ATA is supported directly via the kernel, whether a kernel patch is needed, or how this all plays out in the kernels available with Debian stable. One option I've considered is installing stable by way of an IDE hard drive, and then somehow piggy-backing the system onto the serial ATA drive; but I really don't have much of an idea about how this might work, or whether it's really doable with stable. I'd be mighty grateful for any help along these lines. I'm newly subscribed to his mailing list, so forgive me if this topic has already been covered ad nauseum.
Good Luck Dave
