Hello. Okay so I'm trying to install Debain 2.1 off of a CD. I installed a new slave drive on my primary IDE, and it is not formatted or partitioned. After booting from the debian CD, I get to the "boot:" prompt. I press enter and it looks like it is scanning my system specs, etc. (compiling the kernal?) After it gets done with my HD's and my cd-rom, I get the error "NCR53c406a: no availble ports found" and that is it. It will not go any further. I searched debian.org and a few how-to's and FAQ's, but no success. So at last, I turn to the debian mailing list.
System specs (if it helps) Athlon 800 K7M 128 pc-100 Geforce DDR (agp) Netgear NIC (pci) AWE 64 (isa) IMB 20 gig Cheapy HD 1.6 gig (for linux) floppy cd-rom Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Anyone ever expirence this? Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks, -Shawn
