| |
Hello,
When trying to install Debian Lenny today on my new PC it booted the installation, but failed to recognise the dvd drive, and I could not continue the installer. After asking for a solution on #debian at irc.debian.org (irc.oftc.net), some users have tried to help me with this. One of them tracked down some information, and suggested me to post to this mailing list (his name was enouf).
This is the information that I got:
Motherboard: ASUS M3N78 Pro (according to enouf the sata controller is a MCP78) DVD drive: ASUS DRW-2014
The manual of my motherboard: http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M3N78_PRO/e3864_M3N78_PRO_manual.zip
He noticed upport for mcp77 and mcp79, but not for mcp78: http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.3/drivers/ata/ahci.c http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.26.3/drivers/net/forcedeth.c#L6007
And a review about my motherboard: http://www.bjorn3d.com/read_pf.php?cID=1305
Best regards, krisje8
P.S.: I am not a member of the mailing list, so if you have an answer for me could you please CC me?
