If you compile 2.6-test11 with SATA inline (it seems to be less happy as a module (!)) then this works fine on FC1. (the problem you have is getting to a point where you can compile it)
Once I've finished messing around I'll see if I can produce a native boot.iso for the ASUS boards with working SATA and a 2.6 kernel ...
2.4.23 works just fine with the latest libata patch applied. If anyone wants it I can email, off list, a 2.4.23 that works with promise sata controllers. It should be enough to get someone up and running well enough to compile a 2.4.23 /w the libata patches.
That might work and I'd be pretty happy to try it. Is this built specifically for the 64 bit iso install?
No it's built for my nfsroot. It should work with a network install, but I seem to remember that for cdrom installs you need a patch inorder to swap cdroms. It might work for a minimal cdrom install.
If not, my original question still stands. What do I pass to the kernel for init=?You shouldn't need to pass "init=". That's only needed if you want to force something other than the normal init level.
