Hello, I installed Sarge on a trusty 3 year old PC a while back and all works fine. I bought a new PC the other day. P4 3.0G with 64Bit extensions. I tried the install of the 2.6. kernel and the CD/DVD was not detected. Looking back through dmesg there was stuff about ide ports already in use - rubbish. I rebooted with the 2.4. kernel and the Pioneer CD/DVD was detected fine, likewise the SATA HD. I noticed the people who assembled it attached the CD/DVD to IDE0 and the HD to IDE1 - thus the CD/DVD comes out on /dev/hda and the HD on /dev/hdc. Is this in itself a problem? Has anyone seen this b4? What more info is needed to track down the root cause and get the 2.6 kernel to work?
Thanks, Regards, James. P.S. Please CC me in the response. I'm not a list member. P.P.S I've been playing recompiling the kernel and haven't got that to go *yet* either. It compiles alright but has similar (not the same) difficulties detecting the IDE hardware. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
