A snapshot of the development kernel directory is now posted in the Release Candidate area. Hopefully this will faciliate those who wish/need to compile kernel modules.

Note: This is not an extension. It is a tarball.

I want to refer again to the message, which I have already posted in the feedback area:

" Unfortunately it still doesn't run on my new computer yet.
Same as at the 3.x versions.
I have burned the 4.0 alpha image to a CD.
Messages during booting:
Scanning for USB devices .. Done.
Can't find Knoppix filesystem, sorry.
Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.
DVD drive is connected via a SATA connection.
Is it possible to solve this problem with some added parameters in the boot-menu? But which parameters? I thought I have tried this also in 3.x without success. "

In the meantime, I have tried DSL 2.1b again.
As boot-parameter, I was using " dsl sata ".
Nearly the same as with 3.x and 4.0 alpha.

With 2.1b, there is the message:
"Checking for SATA .. none".
Obviously my SATA-Samsung-DVD-Drive will not be found from DSL :-(

What else can I try?
Will you add SATA support to DSL 4.0 as well?

Thanks in advance.

Try setting ATA/IDE in your BIOS to legacy (from enhanced; this disables SATA) and see if that helps.

SATA as provided with the kernel source is avilable in DSL 4.0.
It is untested, as I do not have such drives.

I have already posted:

DSL 4 is still supporting the old scsi modules, therefore to support SATA require the sata boot option as was implemented in DSL v2.1b.

DSL v3.x does not contain SATA modules.

Try with the necessary boot option:  sata

Please can the newest version of neofb (0.4.1) be included rather than the current version.

Also move torsmo to v0.18 to deal with batteries not stored in the Bat0/1/2/... directories (for me symlinks don't seem to work to work-around this problem)
