Hello Debian Users,
I've a computer with a SCSI harddisk and a IDE 10GB Harddisk.
Last Sunday I installed Debian Release 2.1 on my PC.
The Linux partitions are on the SCSI harddisk.
The IDE harddisk provides VFAT partitions.
Debian Linux isn't able to find the VFAT partitions of the IDE harddisk.
Take a look at the abstract of the logfile /var/kern.log:
> ...
> ... : ide: i82371 PIIX (Triton) on PCI bus 0 function 57
> ... :
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcf0-0xfcf7

The BIOS-Configuration of my PhoenixBIOS for the IDE harddisk:
Type: [Auto]
Cylinders: [16383]
Heads: [ 16]
Sectors/Track (CHS/LBA): 8455/10141 MByte
Transfer Mode: [16 Sectors]
LBA Translation [Enabled]
LBA Translation Mode [LBA]
PIO Mode [PIO 4/DMA 2]
32 Bit I/O [Enabled]
Who knows a solution for this problem?
greetings
