*No partionable drives (D915PBL, WD Raptor SATA)*
Short description: When attempting to install Debian (was marked as 'Nov
18 2004'), I get an error stating that there are no partionable media or
some such.
System:
Intel D915PBL
Pentium 4 3.4GHz
Hard drive: Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000RPM
Long description:
I am mainly looking for an iso which will install debian on system
above. I don't have an existing Linux distro installed here, so I will
not be able compile anything without using a Knnoppix boot on my Win2k
machine.
I had tried the older debian netinst from linuxiso.org and that will
hang after outputing the line "ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6" which I am
told is because the default kernel (2.2.something) is too old and lacks
any SATA support.
My most recent attempt was using the 20041118 image which successfully
starts booting, and begins the network installer. However after it gets
to the point where you would partion a HDD, it red screen of deaths
complaining there isn't one. The BIOS sees the drive on SATA 0. I've
tried moving it to SATA 1, no luck. Both PATA are tied up with a CDRW
and DVDRW respectively. If I absolutely have to, I can put an old PATA
HDD in, removing the CDRW. But I'd rather not have to go that route if
at all possible.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
