Enabling SATA drive support in pre2
«

Does anyone know of a way to enable sata drive support in the latest snapshot? I have a pair of SATA drives in a RAID 1 configuration that appears to load successfully but when I reboot I receive a kernel panic message "failed to sync". Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

SATA Support was not compiled into the PreRelease because they did not have a SATA machine to test it on.
SATA support has been enabled and will be available until the Final Release v2.
You may need to run RC8 or one of the older versions, I think they support SATA from memory.

Yeah I tried to run RC8 and on setup I get a message stating that it fails to bring up the network interface. (Broadcom gigbit nics). Pre2 does not have this problem and finishes setup but gives me the kernel panic on reboot because of no sata support.... Looks like I'm darned if I do and darned if I don't.

I remember using a Broadcom on RC8 in one of my servers and it seemed to work ok.
Do you have the exact message? It may be easier to fix that than doing a kernel recompile

Well I get through the setup to input Endian's ip and netmask and when I click "ok" I get a message stating "Interfaced Failed to Come Up" and when I "alt F3" it states:
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
Any help is appreciated...

And it is enabled in BIOS etc.
Also check to see if 'ifconfig' says anything.
Try running 'lsmod' to see what Modules are also loaded, see if the Ethernet one is loaded.
