Thanks Iliescu, but my problem is a little bit compicated: I want raid funcionality working with these sata disks. Ignoring it, my installations runs ok. But I tried these options on boot, assiciated with "linux dd" to load my megasr driver. Lookin in the archives, something, you idea to install in another hard disk, compile a kernel with a driver, and clone the install may work. I am trying it.
