Re: Showstopper - 6.2-PRERELEASE does not see SATA DVD drives (fwd)

I consider this a showstopper since I could boot from CD but sysinstall could not see the DVD drives, thus no CD install. I had to mount the CD in another machine and do a NFS install.

SATA optical drives are not supported, neither is your brand new gaming sound card. This is far from being a show stopper. Please consult the hardware notes in the future before complaining on the lists.
