DSL 2.0 has support for manually loading the SATA drivers.
There are some improvements to make things better that are being considered for the next release of DSL.
So you can either wait for the next release, or do this (taken from the DSL 2.0RC2 post):
FYI,
The SATA hard disk driver works for the Dell Optiplex GX280 and DSL 2.0RC2
Instructions (from memory):
1) Boot DSL livecd
2) Download the modules_cut.tar.gz file from the release candidate download site.
3) Open an xterm and type:
sudo su
/etc/init.d/mkwritable
tar -zxvf modules_cut.tar.gz -C /
modprobe ata_piix
/etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
exit
exit
and your SATA drives should appear as SCSI drives, IE: sda1 sda2 etc
The general concept is the same for other SATA drivers, just replace
modprobe ata_piix
with your appropriate driver name, such as
modprobe ahci
for example.
Other driver modules of note are:
sata_nv
sata_promise
sata_qstore
sata_sil
sata_sis
sata_svw
sata_sx4
sata_uli
sata_via
sata_vsc
depending on your computer's chipset. You need to use google to learn the type of chipset/driver combo is required for your SATA controller.
Or you can just modprobe them all one by one until you find the one that does not reply with a "no card found" error message or something like that.
