debian-project is probably not the best place to ask these questions,
debian-user would be a better place:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/

But to help you out, I had the same problem when installing Debian
Unstable on my new Intel P35 motherboard.

The SATA controller was not supported by the kernel version in the
current stable Debian Installer.

I got it working with the backported Debian Installer by Kenshi Muto:
http://kmuto.jp/debian/d-i/

And with one of the more current daily builds of the Debian Installer from:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

You could try one of these to see of the newer kernels in these Debian
Installer builds include support for your SATA controllers chipset (to
which your Seagate SATA HDD is connected).

Bas

Debian 4.0 Systemvoraussetzungen

Guten Tag,
das Betreibssystem Debian 4.0, welches auf der Heft-CD vom "LINUX-Magazin" 07/07 ist, würde ich gerne
installieren. Ich kenne mich nicht besonders aus mit LINUX. Meine Frage ist, kann ich Debian 4.0 auf einem
Pentium I mit 166 Mhz? Wenn nein, welche der LINUX Systeme würde sich eignen? Über eine Antwort würde
ich mich sehr freuen! Danke!
MfG

Dies ist die falsche Liste für soetwas. Solche Fragen sind besser auf
debian-user-german aufgehoben (mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass diese
Liste englisch ist). Für nähere Infos oder Hilfe bitte persönliche Mails
an mich. Diese Liste ist voll genug ;)

gomi.no.sensei <at> gmail.com +1 360-665-2502 WA US Subject ------- Sales - 17" Frame, Open-source Question -------- I am a consultant, and have a client who has asked me to evaluate and acquire a solution
for an internal signage application. The opportunity is initially for 20-25 frames.
I have seen your frames in use before, but had a few questions.
<off-topic section removed>
2) I am aware that your platform is Linux on a VIA embedded system. The client's application
would likely require some minor customization to the frame -- possibly filtering of an RSS
feed or special scanning treatment of a network folder (the application is not yet implemented).

Despite searching your site, I have not found any detailed information about the Linux implementation
or about accessibility to the internals. Please advise on this.
We will never have an open platform as we do not have the resources to support such an open product in the field. It's not that we wouldn't like to, as we believe in open source and in fact use a customized base debian distribution with the addition of all our custom software on top. It's just that we can barely keep our head above water supporting our current base of users (which our non-technical consumers) (that's why we finally have started to generate a knowledge base). Opening our product up to hackers would present a support nightmare, not to  mention the product liability of somebody electrocuting themselves. The last reason is why we weld our units shut and the aluminum metal must be cut and drilled to open it up!

Supporting RSS feeds from several different service providers with ever changing feed specs has not been trivial nor do we expect it to be in the future. We are working on a MAJOR software upgrade to be released this Fall, which will  support digital signage, as it's a market that is growing for us and finally seems to be heating up. For q 20-25, we would be willing to make the necessary modifications for you if it's something we thought we could leverage, while we are working on this software piece. We have a lot of customers using our frames in digital signage. I hope you will still consider being one of them. We are a small company and think you find us easy to work with and most likely be able to make your modifications quickly for you.

Regards,


PhotoVu Sales

Hi,

Please explain a bit further on this: What are the product's
modifications on Debian that you require them to distribute? Thing is,
although this people's argument (i.e. "the system being open to
hackers" and all) is quite flawed, Debian is a _distribution_, it is
not -as a whole- made available on a Copyleft license.

If you spot they have modified the Linux kernel, the GNU tools, the
compiler, etc., then you can demand them sources for their
modifications - But you can freely mix Debian and completely
propietary code. And you will not be forced to disclose your
propietary sources - But modifications made to copylefted (note that
_not_ every Free Software  license is copyleft) software should be
released as well.

Greetings,

You might want to bring this issue to http://gpl-violations.org/
they have a reputation of getting people to publish their sources.
