[Devil-Linux-discuss] Hardware Problem on new Dell Machines

[Martin G. <mar...@we...>]

Hi,

is there anyone with experience with DL on some newer Machines with
SATA_PIIX boards.

I have (mis)used DL 1.2.10 as boot-system for mass-cloning some standard
Linux-installation to our PCs.
On these these machines the CDROM was attached to a normal IDE Bus and
the harddisk was accessible with the DL after loading the ata_piix
driver via the INITRD_MODULES.
Everything worked fine.

Now we have a new Series (Dell Optiplex 745) were the hardware has
changed. The CDROM is now also attached to the SATA, the loading of
the piix module fails and the CDROM cannot be found by Devil.

Is there a way to work around this problem? Are there updates to the
kernel-modules available?
