Sata drives not seen in Debian
Is there a boot parm I can use to make my sata drives recognize in Debian? I think I am running 3.1, I'm attempting an install.

I have tried using that kernel, I did the expert install as well. It doesn't see the drives, says "no partionable media found"

Does the BIOS see the drives properly? Is this a machine that was working fine under Windows, or is it a brand new machine?

Your SATA controller may not be detectable by the default kernel modules. Do you know the make / model?
