Re:problems installing etch: no HD detected

so sorry I sent the reply to the wrong address!it's my first time to use maillist. i meant, for your laptop, perhaps you should use the up-to-date kernel, 2.6.22.* version. it might contain the proper drivers for your hardware.

Hi! I need to install etch in a notebook which has MS-Vista installed. I have shrinked the HD (using diskpart from inside Vista) in order to get room for etch. I am using the etch netinstall cd, and the gui-expert mode with the following parameters: "acpi=off pnpbios=off noapic noapm" (I need these parameters in order to boot the Knoppix live CD, so, I guess the same are need for etch). Everything is going fine until the stage where the HD is detected: the etch installer doesn't detect any HD... The installed HD is a Western Diginal Scorpio HD (WD800BEVS), using the SATA port 1. I wonder if I need any special module to be loaded during the installation... Any help will be very welcome.
