Subject: [alpine-devel] SATA support?

Does generic-cd mean IDE CDROM only?
Boot from CDROM using 1.7.29.2 and 1.8.0 images didn't work.
 
How about initrd hdext3.gz? Is only for IDE disks?

Unfortunally yes.

It is SATA cdrom?

Unfortunally yes.

I am working on the v1.9 series which is supposed to have support for
SATA. I dont have the wardware easy available for testing so I dont know
if it works.

If I make an alpine-1.9.0_alpha1 release, would you be able to test if
it works?

Thanks!
