installing slackware 10.2 on compaq laptop with Sansung HM121HI hard drive

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to install slackware 10.2 on a on compaq laptop with Sansung
HM121HI hard drive but I wonder what kernel should I use so it can recognize the had disk. Initially I've tried using sata.i and then try to use the fdisk utility to create the new partiotions but doesn't seem to work. In case it helps I'm trying 'fdisk /dev/sda' but I get the error that /dev/sda is undefined. I assume I'm doing something wrong. Any help will be highly appreciated . Thanks.

harby.
