I have a suspicion that your device is not actually ahci, but a different SATA chipset. Could you try downloading the full udpcd.iso (which includes _all_ drivers...) and check whether it proposes a different SATA module?
The menu system usually works as follows: it checks the installed hardware, and if this hardware is compatible with modules on the CD, only these are listed, (but you can get the full list by clicking on Others). If none match, the full list is diplayed immediately. But so far the "full" list had an issue in that not all directories were scanned for modules. However, that is is now fixed in today's version (20070326), now the full list is really full.
yea, that was what i meant maybe its running now... I'll try tomorrow (i've no access to the machines now) Regards
I also to check all but none of the modules is included (other preconfiguring issues work e.g. network module)
Best regards, Wolfgang (Thanks for the quick reply)

Heureka! Now it works: 1.: the module (ahci) is within the menue-list 2.: the partition table is read correctly 3.: cloning is still to be tested (tomorrow)! Today i tried other machines with little success - it stopped and disconnected after a few MBs - many re-xmits! - probably big cable trouble :-(
Questions: 1.:What does /dev/hda:block mean? (appears in the table menue beside the other partition entries) 2.: is the MBR cloned when using the option: /dev/hda (whole dik)? Thanks and regards Wolfgang
Hello. I've some general questions: 1.:What does /dev/block:hda mean? (appears in the table menue beside the other partition entries) 2.: is the MBR also cloned when using the option: /dev/hda (whole dik)? 3.: Is ist possible to udpcast just the partition table resp. the MBR? Thanks and regards Wolfgang Schmid

No idea. Never seen this...
2.: is the MBR also cloned when using the option: /dev/hda (whole dik)?
Yes, /dev/hda is the whole disk.
3.: Is ist possible to udpcast just the partition table resp. the MBR?
No
Thanks and regards Wolfgang Schmid

Everthing worked out fine! I had to clone 3 different kind of PCs and it worked supurbly!
One important thing to mention: Avoid connections to other machines (esp. servers) that don't have to be cloned - they can terribly slow down the cloning process (in my case ut was about the factor 15!!!). When I happend to remove the cable it really worked great!!! Best regards and many thanks Wolfgang Schmid
