Can you give me a full link to image, because I can't find it on this site.

P.S. Sorry for disturbing!

You're not disturbing me - this is all volunteer, and I wanna help...

It's way down towards the bottom under a heading which says:
Download Area Information

FTP site for Slackware Sata ISO (Install Disk #1)

BITTORRENT site for Slackware Sata ISO (Install Disk #1)
it will be the one labeled UNOFFICIAL Slack 10 Disk 1 SATA - SEE COMMENT
I've never figured out how to use BitTorrent, so I can't help with that.

Thank you Chinaman!
I have tried with bonecrashers satabare.i (Slack 9.1+) to install in a Slackware 10.0, but kernel gives error - i/o buffer read error /dev/sda4. That's why I want to test with sata.i for 10.0

What motherboard (manufacturer and model) and
what hard disk (manufacturer and model) do you have?

If there is anything we can do to help you, post it.

I have an Asus A7V600-X (VIA-KT600 chipset) with
a Seagate Model: ST380013AS 80 GB hard disk.
They work great. Just remember when you install
to issue "cfdisk /dev/sda"

I have Asus P4C800 Deluxe Motherboard with integrated Promise Fasttrak 378 controler. 2x120 GB SATA hdd - Seagate (Raid0-strip). In /dev/sda1 I have instaled Windows XPSP2 and I want to install Slackware 10.0 on /dev/sda4.

I've read so many sata threads that I forgot that you're
not compiling a 2.6.x kernel but just installing Slack-10
with a sata 2.4.26 kernel. You should be just fine with
that sata.iso from Brady.

The only thing to mention is that you should read
the information on Jeff Garzik's pages. He is the one
who's maintaining the libata driver and does all the sata
stuff for the kernel. There are issues with RAID controllers
and I can't address them because I'm not using RAID.

Thank you again!
When I download and test this iso, I will post the results.

I have downloaded this CD.
In boot process linux has detected my HDD but when I start
fdisk /dev/sda
this message appears:
Unable to seek in /dev/sda
I think the problem is that kernel cannot detect RAID0 cofiguration by the BIOS and there are 2 hard drives:
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb
How can I solve this problem?

The only thing to mention is that you should read
the information on Jeff Garzik's pages.

Sorry I can't be of more help - never setup RAID in Linux,
but it will definitely have to be software RAID...

Hi

Thanks for the link Chinaman.
I am going to try it.
Many thanks

Still don't know anything more, but you might get
some help from the LQ Wiki ->
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/...hat_is_RAID.3F

this is a nice thread as I intend to buy a sata shortly. ide is 5 years old.

I don't have raid but the tips that I have gleaned so far may be
mandrakeuser.org user anon says in bios select RAID to auto detect ATA if probs
mandrakeuser user benno mentions kernel appends in grub of either acpi=off or noapic or nolapic
a gentoo user has success with grub and raid 1 and puts grub into both drive mbrs
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic....light=grub+raid

of interest to the gentoo user is his /etc/fstab file that has /dev/md0
my lq link is here for any that can help

now to get back to your needs and my future intentions. I intend to install slackware 10 on sata by trying this

1) download the sata kernel its the bzImage file mentioned here
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/s...ernels/sata.i/
2) rename it and save to floppy as vmlinuz and a separte floppy as bzImage.
As floppies can fail make backups to floppy.
3) during the install it will ask for a kernel and I will attempt to use the bzImage floppy
4) before reboot, I open another terminal by holding down control & alt and pressing the F2 key or f3 etc
5) load my grub tgz file on
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/s...nt/extra/grub/
6) mount my floppy and load my vmlinuz file into /boot after deleting the other one.
7) configure grub as I don't like lilo with my /boot/grub/menu.lst file with this possible menu

title SATA
root (hd0,0) (my /boot partition)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda ro
8) I could test grub on floppy first but I will jump in to the mbr as I am a fool (heh heh) after checking I have grub stage1 etc files in /boot/grub

commands
grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
quit

and grub will report errors or sucess on not finding anything for the root command or the setup command.

Anyone spot any issues with this yet to be attempted way....as I don't yet have the sata drive?

forgot to mention my /boot/grub/device.map I will create will be

(hd0) /dev/sda
(fd0) /dev/fd0
