I have an AMD-64 3000+ 939 processor with SATA drives, running on the NVIDIA NV Raid chipset. I have tried several different kernels at the boot prompt, but they all fail to see the disks. Does anybody know how to load slackware with this configuration?

I have a nforce4 ultra chipset with a single sata drive. And had no issue with the sata.o install kernel on Slack10.1.
As far as the raid set up you may have to do it after the install??? Not sure on that.
u first need to setup ur partition with linux FS type using fdisk
do that before runnning setup aftr the login prompt
regards
The problem is that the drives on the Nvidia controller are not being seen by Slackware. I can't fdisk something that doesn't show up. I have installed Slackware numerous times on other systems, but this one seems to be having trouble. SUSE installs fine, FreeBSD installs fine. Is there some special kernel I load? I already tried all the kernels that pressing F3 on the install offers you.
