I investigated a little further for the SATA controller..<br>It says that in general kernel 2.6 does not support it..<br><br>I read tips like disabling from BIOS :<br>1) Apic Mode --&gt; disable<br>2) SATA --&gt; disable OR tranform SATA/RAID to SATA ONLY..
<br><br>The first option was available on my BIOS..and so I turn that off..<br>But for the second..I saw nothing..<br><br>I also added to the boot options :<br>noapic, nolapic, acpi-off<br><br>But, again..Nothing of all that solved the problem...
<br><br>Waouw..imagine the day we'll solve this problem..I'll have learned a lot of things..don't desesperate..it is funny..well..in fact..I want to do music..but ok..I'll be patient..I hope the problem will be solved..:-)
<br><br>From the boot screen msgs..I have also :<br>&quot;detectecting hardware : open_sock() : No such device&quot;<br><br>Also, the message &quot;Starting PCMCIA services : no socket found&quot; <br>is still there..although I have the nopcmcia option in grub..
<br><br>(for the 2 messages above..I see that in common they talk about sockets..)<br><br>So..where are we?<br>What's next on the check list :-) ??<br><br>Bye bye<br>
