Good idea, that might the entire problem. It never occured to me
before, that if i choose to boot and install the test26.s kernel, a
different one will be installed. I know that test26.s from the CD needs
no initrd, but even though i did choose it to install to hard drive,
the outcome needs a ramdisk to boot, coz it's only a generic one and
not a test26.s (something I can't quite comprehend). Alrite, i'll
browse through the modules directory, and i hope there will be some
sata module available. Thanks.
