Slackware in SATA 250GB Hard drive

Asked by wlb7631 in Slax / Slackware Linux

Tags: slackware, sata, drive

I've buy new Dell Vostro 200 with preinstalled Windows Vista.
I want to trash windows and install linux ( slackware ) into this pc, but when i boot using my slack cd, it said not found /dev/hda/. I not sure why it not found, i've read at slackware site that only certain kernel support SATA drive and I use all that kernel said but still not success.

Any one have solutions ???

My new PC spec :
Intel Pentium Duo Core 2.33
2GB RAM
250 SATA Harddrive.
