my best suggestion is to try the IDE install disks: http://saens.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/idepci/ chances are very good that there are no drivers available for it though.(on that disk) you can see a list of supported chipsets for linux here: http://www.linux-ide.org/chipsets.html (some may require newer kernels and/or 3rd party patches to run) Ultra133 controllers are very very new ..... in this situation, I would move the install drive to a controller that is supported, install to it, and if your lucky you may be able to track down a driver(possibly in the 2.4. kernel). then perhaps you can migrate back to the other controller. with IDE controllers so cheap if it was my system i would get a promise ATA 100 controller instead ..(and use the IDE install disks) but thats me nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
