#270 Morphix can not be installed into SATA hdd
This bug has already been reported but without any
detail description of what happens. As SATA hdd are
becomming more common, it is now time, this issue be
addressed more seriously.
Presiously, The problem is: Morphix can not be
installed into SATA harddisk. I have tried with latest
base module "amalthea" and it doesn't work.
Either Kernel or Morphix-installer is responsible for
this incapability. Since, sda1 is detected in the
morphix installer, it looks like kernel is doing its
job and installer is not.
Installer is capable of creating the
partition/filesystem and even copy files to the desired
partition but fails to complete the final stage i.e
wrinting to MBR..

Sarge is used to build bases. If we start using etch, which I am told has better suport for SATA drives this problem may go away.
Alas I have no SATA drives to test this theory on, else I would build a etch base.
