Thank you both Neil Bothwick andAlan McKinnon for the great help. |

Got this one working now. Still many features arn't working yet such as |
| 5 |
alsa and wifi but I think I will make it now. |

|

The driver I needed seem to be AHCI SATA. Was rather difficult to |
| 8 |
identify that that is the right driver because lspci states: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA |
| 11 |
Controller (rev 04) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
and you can't find 82801 in .config |
| 14 |
Also it seems to me that the driver should be statically loaded and not |
| 15 |
as a module (which now makes sense unless I could have changed things in |
| 16 |
modules.conf or similar). |
| 17 |

May I suggest/encourage people to write summaries (such as was a custom |
| 20 |
in sun managers mailing list (sun.unc.edu?) so other people can learn |
| 21 |
and save time? |
