i tried installing slakware 10. 2 to one of my friends box.
It is AMD64 bit athlon, ASUS K8S-MX Board, with sata drive as hdd.(only one disk)
i tried sata.i kernel first and it showed "kerenl panic ".
then i tried test26.s kernel and gone well till, i got the promt
root@..#
i cant detect the device (like we do in ide disks /dev/hda)for partition
because of this i cant partition the disk
i tried root@..# fdisk -l (showed nothing)
HOw to know the device?
i tried dmesg tll then i cant find teh hard disk device
what SATA controller are you using. If you are using a VIA chipset dont use the libata SATA driver. Use the SCSI level SATA driver. And oh yes,kernel compiles are very easy.
Most people overestimate how hard they are. (the first compile is the hardest)
normal behaviour, if you type the filename directly, the shell
believe it is an executable and try to run it, as the execute bit
is not set on the file --> Permission denied, even if you are root
Namaseit
#cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name
dmesg i tried i cant even detect the thing there only i can find out is hdd assigned to dvd drive
soulestream test26.s
all other kernels shows error
i cant even partion or see the partions then whow can i run setup.
(haven't even run setup )
so i am stuck with first step in the #
will i able to install slack to this machine ?
is slack not detecting hard disk
is it some problem with motherboard?
is it a slack problem, Does teh kernel didnt detect hard disk ?

but after bios setup igot into "Raid setup" by pressing cntrl+s(for this board)
Current created raid and it displays the disk
