    Yep, I have tried both, sarge netinstall (rc2) and the full images, both
    ended up similarily, no paartionable media.

    I just tried it again with expert26, it suggests a heap load of modules
    it assumes necessary...(sorry the possible typos, couldn't copy/paste
    these..)

    yenta_sockets, usb-storage. floppy, via82cxxx, trm290, triflex,
    slc90e66, sis5513, siimage, serverworks, sc1200, rz1000, piix,
    pdc202xx_old, opti621, ns87415, hpt34xx, generic, cy83c693, cs5530,
    cs5520, cmd64x, atiixp, and74xx, alim15x3, alim15x3, aec62xx,
    pdc202xx_new, ide-generic, ide-disk, ide-cd, isofs)

    I allowed all, didn't know what parameters to pass to them though.

    under Knoppix lspci output is revealed that the SATA Controller is:

    0000:00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller
    (rev 04)

    Any modules to load via the shell with modprobe possibly ?

    TIA,
    PETE
