The drivers are available, but the debian kernel is messed up in such a way that it won't use those sata drivers and detect the drive. For the record, I have CK804 nvidia equipment in the machine that has the sata drive. I did find archlinux had no problem finding and handling the sata drive though. This is on an amd athelon k8 machine with a gig of memory. I have not been able to get slackware64-13.37 to install on that machine either with speakup.synth=ltlk at boot up or with modprobe speakup_ltlk after initial login. I have no idea why since iso's I download pass both gpgv and md5sum tests. Now this one will be strange, it was for me. I tried the last version of grmlmonster I could find and it wanted more sata disk than was in the machine at the time. I think I had an 80GB disk in the machine and it wanted if memory serves 400GB as a minimum. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude
