Hi all, I recently received an old Dell M200s tower desktop. I tried to install Debian on it with beta4. But the kernel failed to detect the IDE controller, so I don't have any drives at the drive partition stage.
According to the Dell website, the M200s uses the SMSC FDC37C93xFR IO controller. I did a search of the 2.4.23 kernel source tree and only found references to this chip in IrDA and the Alpha directory. I see no references of this chip in the IDE driver directory. But a search on google returns mailing list entries that imply people have installed Debian on this computer. So my question is; has anyone tried installing with d-i on this computer? Does Linux work with this IO chip on the x86 architecture? Any help is greatly appreciated. --jc -- Jimen Ching (WH6BRR) [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
