Re: Intel motherboards

Accept for "Intel" not related to OP's question... but I thought I'd
throw this out.

On a newer Dell, Dimension 2700, workstation; the 20040913 iso does not
see the onboard sata device. I've not been able to justify (time) to try
a newer iso for this hardware, could there be a difference?

Some other interesting facts: the debian woody installer has no trouble
using it as ata, but new versions of knoppix, linux bbc and system
rescue cd cannot use the device either. My linux 2.6.10 kernel mounts
the root fs in hde3 then an extra partition from prompt, on the same
device, as sda4. Both types same time, same drive, very weird. Has been
stable too. Will provide config if anyone is interested.

I cannot find the "comprehensive" webpage for DFLY compatibility,
discussed some time back, and the wiki Supported Hardware page doesn't
seem appropriate. Here's the hardware profile from linux, more details
per request.

I haven't tried networking under the dfly cd, but could if anyone can
see a purpose for it.. I would really like to image this hardware from
a cd or pxe boot... Oh, also tried g4u, and that netbsd kernel seems
to get a network interface up (don't recall if the onboard one) and
sees the wd0 drive (didn't move forward with that imaging approach for
unrelated issues).
